" The innate immune system employs pattern recognition receptors in order to identify pathogen associated motifs or signatures. The main family of pattern recognition receptors are the Toll-like receptor family. Members of the TLR family are able to sense a wide range of motifs and trigger innate immune responses. The meeting will bring together experts in the field of innate immunity covering different members of the TLR family as well as different microbial ligands" says Dr. Shara Cohen, Managing Director of EuroSciCon.

This meeting is being Chaired by Dr Martha Triantafilou andDr Kathy Triantafilou (University of Sussex, UK) and will feature talks by Professor Neil Gow (University of Aberdeen, UK), Dr Nicholas Gay (University of Cambridge, UK), Dr Peter Morley (GlaxoSmithKline R&D, Stevenage, UK), Dr Sandra Diebold (Kings College, London, UK), Dr Nino Porakishvili (University of Westminster, UK), Professor Dirk Werling (Royal Veterinary College, UK), Dr Michael Carty (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) and Professor Hermann Wagner (Institut für Med.
