Antigen Recognition at Mucosal Surfaces
Implications for Allergic, Inflammatory and Immunologic Disease
Boston Marriott Copley Place
Boston, Massachusetts
June 5, 2008
9:00am-5:30pm

The Society for Mucosal Immunology, the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology and the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America are co-sponsoring a satellite symposium at this year's FOCIS meeting in Boston. The theme of the symposium, which will be held on Thursday, June 5, 2008, from 9:00 am - 5:30 pm, is "Antigen Recognition at Mucosal Surfaces: Implications for Allergic, Inflammatory and Immunologic Diseases."

This symposium will provide a "cross-mucosal" view of basic, translational and clinical research regarding the central role of the mucosal immune system in maintaining homeostasis in the gastrointestinal, respiratory and genitourinary tracts, as well as the skin, eye and other mucosal surfaces. The contribution of dysregulated mucosal immune responses to the pathophysiology of allergic, inflammatory and immunologic diseases will be highlighted.

Registration for this all-day symposium will include lunch and coffee breaks, with an opportunity to meet the speakers and fellow researchers and clinicians. Online registration and additional information is available at the FOCIS web site.

Organizing Committee:
Charlotte Kaetzel, University of Kentucky College of Medicine
Rick Blumberg, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School
Jon Braun, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
Leo Lefrancois, University of Connecticut Health Center
Dale Umetsu, Children's Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School
