Inflammatory
Diseases of Barrier Organs July 12-14 2007 in Kiel/ Germany
The understanding of the function of an intact barrier and the pathophysiology of its impairment in diseases affecting barrier organs is of increasing clinical importance. In the National Genome Research Network (NGFN), key molecular pathways in chronic inflammatory disorders such as Crohn's disease, asthma, psoriasis and sarcoidosis have been discovered. Focus of the research consortium is the genetic and functional genomic exploration of innate and adaptive immunity and the interplay with environmental factors.
The international
NGFN-Symposium Inflammatory Barrier Diseases Meeting 2007 will represent many of the leading research groups in this field. A comprehensive programme is offered that will discuss primary genetic etiology, epithelial defence mechanisms, the molecular pathophysiology of impaired barrier integrity and its translation into clinical research programs. A satellite meeting dealing with the genetics and functional genomics of human aging will complete the programme.
Especially young researchers are invited to join the symposium. An interactive poster session but also the social events will ensure discussions between a renowned international faculty and young colleagues. The presenters of the 20 best posters will be awarded a travel stipend for the symposium.
We are looking forward to welcoming you and your colleagues in Kiel!
