Immune responses depend on the dynamic coordination of diverse immune cell types, as they sense their environment,  integrate tissue context, send out signals to each other and communicate with other cells in the body. Dysregulated immune signaling underlies many human diseases, and a reductionist approaches fall short—calling for systems-level strategies to understand and correct immune responses with targeted and engineered treatments. 

This meeting will showcase cutting-edge advances in next-generation sequencing, mass spectrometry, and systems biology approaches that are unraveling the complex interplay of molecular pathways and cellular responses, within tissues and across the body. The program will unite top-down and bottom-up perspectives to explain diverse physiological and pathological phenomena.  Additionally, this meeting will be held jointly with the Keystone Symposium on “Immunometabolism Across Scales: From Cells to Systems to Healthspan,” to enable cross-disciplinary insights and collaborations towards utilizing systems biology approaches to study the complexities of immunometabolism mechanisms and contributions to disease.
