Translational Immunology in Asia-Oceania
The 5th International Congress of the Federation of Immunological Societies of Asia-Oceania, Volume 1283
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences (Band Nr. 1)
Immunology has rapidly evolved as a field, in particular, by
moving beyond merely understanding the basic mechanisms of the
immune system to developing diagnostic and clinical applications.
As part of this globally broadening effort, the Fifth Congress of
the Federation of Immunological Societies of Asia-Oceania (FIMSA)
was held in New Delhi March 14-17 2012. The presentations
centered on the theme: "Translational Immunology in Health
and Diseases." Extending this theme, this volume comprises
the topics covered in ten Master Lectures and five award-winning
poster presentations, including work on genetic control of
immunity, autoimmunity, and the immune response in relation to
specific conditions.
