Past Events

This is a two day meeting to bring together international researchers with an interest in tackling emerging viruses that affect all species, whether human, pet, production or wild. This will allow cross-fertilisation of ideas and common trends to be identified, as well as discussion of methodologies and prospects going forward.

This year, we have key talks from:
▪ Prof. Gordon Dougan FRS (Sanger Institute)
▪ Dr Milka Sarris (Physiology, Development and Neuroscience)
▪ Industry vs Academics panel- Dr Tim Allsopp (Consilium Bio Ltd), Dr Kai Stoeber (VP, Global Innovation, Shionogi Ltd).

A training seminar for Cambridge academics, clinicians, early-career researchers and biotech-based industry professionals

ELRIG is pleased to invite you to the 5th Annual Research & Innovation Meeting and its new location at
Homerton College, in Cambridge, UK on 29th and 30th March, 2017. Building on the success of the
meeting in previous years, this year will be a larger, 2-day event that will provide expanded scientific
tracks, a larger exhibition and greater networking opportunities with the UK’s most innovative life science
companies.

The Ageing Cell conference will bring together an international community of researchers from academia, industry and the clinic in the fields of immunology, genetics, epigenetics and signalling to discuss ageing at the cellular level.

The conference sessions will include:

The ageing stem cell – how stem cell development, proliferation and function changes with age
The ageing immune system – how composition and function change with age
Signalling and the ageing cell – signalling pathways that control metabolism and cellular fitness
Epigenetics of the ageing cell – exploring changes to the epigenome during ageing.

Looking at the microbiota, personal medicine and immunity....

The innate immune system is known to be instrumental in directing adaptive immune system to eradicate pathogens and tumours. However, dysregulation of the innate immune system can lead to unwanted inflammatory responses that precipitate immune-mediated diseases, including autoimmunity and allergy, suggesting it has a central role in host defences and inflammation.
