7th RCAI-JSI International Symposium on Immunology 2012 "New Horizon in Immune Regulation-Bridging innate and acquired immunity-" The RCAI-JSI International Symposium on Immunology is a series of annual conferences hosted by RIKEN Research Center for Allergy and Immunology (RCAI) in conjunction with the Japanese Society for Immunology (JSI). The symposium provides a forum for active discussions on the cutting edge of immunological research. The steering committee is composed of the representatives of RCAI and JSI, and organizes the program with advice from the international advisory committee. The RCAI-JSI international symposium is complementary to JSI International Symposia that are held during its annual meeting. These meetings promote the progress of immunology and encourage young researchers not only in Japan but also in Asia and all over the world. In the every RCAI-JSI International Symposium, about 400 people gathered to learn about the most advanced topics in immunology and exchange their results. The first meeting of the annual series of RCAI- JSI International Symposium on Immunology was held in 2005 and we finished the fifth in 2009 with a great success. It was our great regret that we had to cancel the sixth symposium of 2011 because of the earthquake and tsunami attacked the northern part of Japan and the shortage of electricity caused by them. Although the post-disaster reconstruction is still going, there is no problem in Yokohama and every infrastructure is well organized as before. Now we are glad to announce the holding of 2012 symposium. At the seventh symposium, we will focus on Immune Regulation-Bridging innate and acquired immunity. The symposium will be divided into five sections, 'Recognition by innate sensor', 'Novel innate cell subsets', 'Innate cell function', 'Interface between innate and acquired immunity' and 'Lymphocyte subsets and effecter function'. At this stage, 21 invited researchers will introduce their cutting edge research. We believe that in this rapidly advancing era of science, direct interaction between people is one of the most effective ways to spread knowledge and inspire researchers to explore new directions. We hope that during the symposium, people will consider both newly solved and yet un-solved problems, and that the symposium will function to connect the researchers, and contribute to future studies of immunological science. We welcome your registration and attendance. The date and place: Date: June 28(Thu)-29(Fri), 2012 Venue: Conference Center 5F, PACIFICO YOKOHAMA 1-1-1 Minato Mirai Nishi-ku Yokohama, 220-0012 Japan Application: Application period: March 1(Thu) - May 31(Thu) Application for participation can be made online.
