SMART Symposium in Immunology
Deconstruction and Reconstruction
of Lymphocytes
for Precision Medicine
Date

Venue
Cloud Park International Conference Center, Guangming District, Shenzhen, China
About
Precision medicine holds the potential to significantly enhance our ability to treat cancers, autoimmune diseases, and chronic infections with increasing specificity. Deeper understanding of how lymphocyte antigen receptors recognize antigens and generate signals is driving the creative design of chimeric and artificial receptors. Insights into the formation and maintenance of antigen-specific memory are guiding innovative approaches to cell therapeutics. Visualizing complex immunological and disease processes in vivo and modeling them in organoids are accelerating the translation of basic discoveries into clinical applications. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are unlocking hidden patterns and providing data-driven solutions to fundamental questions in lymphocyte biology. This meeting will convene leading experts and thought leaders in these pivotal areas of immunological research, with the goal of advancing our capacity to analyze, understand, and engineer lymphocyte biology for the next-generation precision medicine.
Topics covered in the symposium:
Signaling and design of antigen receptors
Biology and manipulation of immune memory
Immunity in organoids and in situ
Understanding immunity with machine learning / artificial intelligence
Precision therapies for autoimmune diseases and cancers
New directions in cancer immunotherapy
