Takashi Kei Kishimoto, J <strong>Vaccines</strong> Vaccin <strong>2013</strong>, 4:5http://dx.doi.org/10.4172/2157-7560.S1.0163 rd International Conference on<strong>Vaccines</strong> & VaccinationJuly 29-31, <strong>2013</strong> Embassy Suites Las Vegas, NV, USARational design of synthetic vaccine particles (SVP) for therapeutic treatment of chronic diseasesTakashi Kei KishimotoSelecta Biosciences, USA<strong>Vaccines</strong> for the prophylaxis of infectious diseases have been one of the most effective interventions for improving humanhealth. Recent advances in immunology and vaccine technology have opened the door to novel vaccine-based therapiesfor the therapeutic treatment of chronic diseases. We have developed a flexible and modular Synthetic Vaccine Particle (SVP)technology that enables the rational design of both stimulatory vaccines and tolerogenic immune therapies. Our targeted SVPs(tSVP) have been designed and optimized to promote efficient cross-presentation of antigen and stimulate robust cellularimmunity for the treatment of cancer and chronic infections, while our tolerogenic targeted SVPs (t 2 SVP) are designed to induceimmune tolerance for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, allergies, and immunogenicity of biological therapies. We willdescribe the general design principles of these synthetic, self-assembling nanoparticles and provide examples for use in variousdisease settings.BiographyTakashi Kei Kishimoto is the Chief Scientifi c Offi cer of Selecta Biosciences, a biotechnology company developing synthetic vaccines based on anovel self-assembling nanoparticle technology. Prior to joining Selecta, he was Vice President of Research at Momenta Pharmaceuticals wherehe led a multidisciplinary team in advancing both novel and complex generic products. Previously he held leadership positions at MillenniumPharmaceuticals and Boehringer Ingelheim. He has published over 50 peer-reviewed articles, including articles in Nature, Science, Cell, and theNew England Journal of Medicine.
