IMmune-related Pathologies: Understanding Leukocyte Signaling and Emerging therapies

 

Final program of the Symposium is already available!!!

Please check the "Scientific Program" page

 

There is a great effort to identify new targetable molecules that can be used to cure cancer, immunologic disorders, infectious diseases and other still unmet medical needs. Also, there is an excessive progress in identifying small molecules that influence signaling-cascades and fine tuning the effector functions of IgG in order to optimize and personalize antibody therapy. IMPULSE offers you an excellent opportunity to meet basic and clinical scientists and discuss recent achievements in understanding immunological processes behind the pathogenesis, diagnosis and therapy of human diseases.

IMPULSE builds upon a highly successful conference series on Signals and Signal Processing in the Immune System (SASPITIS) which had been held bi-annually for more than two decades in Hungary and, among others, was the forum for forging the terms ITAM and ITIM. We hope IMPULSE will be as successful in setting trends for the coming decades as its predecessor SASPITIS conference was.

IMPULSE focuses on the following topics:
- understanding leukocyte signaling pathways and their contribution to human disease
- therapeutic targeting of leukocyte signal transduction pathways
- functions of immunoglobulins as membrane receptors and soluble effector molecules
- rational development and application of therapeutic antibodies.

Participants with academic, clinical or industrial relations are kindly invited to create this new melting pot, IMPULSE.
