Nucleic Acid Immunity Meeting 2024
Time: October 14 - 16, 2024
Venue: Centre des Congrès du Palais des Papes, Avignon, France
In-person meeting.
The International Conference on Nucleic Acid Immunity of the Collaborative Research Center/Transregio 237 (SFB/TRR237) "Nucleic Acid Immunity" took place from October 14th to 16th at the Centre des Congrès du Palais des Papes in Avignon, France.
Almost 200 scientists from all over the world took part in the conference to exchange information about the latest scientific findings on the topic of nucleic acid immunity. Young scientists had the unique opportunity to discuss and network with internationally renowned researchers from various disciplines in a relaxed atmosphere. The focus of the conference was on molecular mechanisms of immune recognition of nucleic acids and the signaling pathways involved, as well as disease mechanisms that arise from genetically determined disorders of nucleic acid immunity.
In addition to plenary lectures, selected short lectures and posters, the lectures by key note speakers Richard Youle (NIH, Bethesda, USA) and Zhijian 'James' Chen (UT Southwestern, Dallas, USA) were among the highlights of the conference.
