45th Annual Meeting of The Society For Leukocyte Biology thanK you to the suppoRteRs of the 2012 slB meetInG! B 45th Annual Meeting of The Society for Leukocyte Biology
InflammatIon In Innate and adaptIve Immune mechanIsms Dear Colleagues, Aloha and welcome to the 2012 Annual Meeting of the Society for Leukocyte Biology. Our venue, the Hilton Grand Wailea Resort here in Maui promises beautiful views and exciting activities to supplement a highly stimulating scientific program. The theme for this year’s meeting is “Inflammation in innate and adaptive immunity”. Our Keynote Speaker and the recipient of the Bonazinga award is Charles Dinarello, a most appropriate selection especially in light of the importance of the IL-1 family in regulating a diverse array of inflammatory activities that impact on the character, magnitude and duration of associated immune responses. The program also contains 5 plenary sessions covering innate recognition mechanisms in host defense, inflammasomes, myeloid cell populations linking inflammation with cancer, the epithelium as a link between innate and Th2 immunity, and metabolism in immune regulation. Furthermore, the 10 concurrent sessions have been designed to reflect the broader interests of our community and will be composed of invited speakers, featured presentations and short presentations chosen from among the submitted abstracts. In addition to the Alcohol and Immunology satellite symposium there are also a number of special sessions that deal with science career issues and include Street Smarts of Science: A Survival Guide for Graduate Students (Liz Kovacs), How to Write Your First Grant Application (Julian Cambronero), and a session sponsored by the Women and Diversity Committee. Finally, there are numerous activities and sites in Maui that will provide lots of pre- or post meeting potential. A dawn bicycle ride down from the top of the volcano or a trip to the waterfalls and the lush rain forest on the eastern side of the island are great options. In addition to an opening reception that will be held the first night of the meeting immediately after the Bonazinga award presentation; we will also be hosting a mixer on Monday evening that should provide a great chance to socialize. Finally, a sincere “thank you” to all our sponsors including the NIH, PeproTech Inc., BioLegend, Cayman Chemical, Hycult, Abbott, Quartzy, and Bristol Myers Squibb whose generous support helps make this program possible. Wishing you a wonderful meeting! The 2012 Scientific Organizing Committee Tom Hamilton Xiaoxia Li October 28 – 30, 2012 | Hilton Grand Wailea Resort | Maui, Hawai’i 1
