Meeting Summary

Keynote Speakers: 
  • Christian Haass, Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich, Modulation of Microglial Function
  • Astrid Iversen, University of Oxford, Genomic Risk for Neuroinflammation
Scientific Organizers: Michael V. Sofroniew, Malu G. Tansey and Robyn S Klein
Neuroinflammation accompanies essentially all forms of central nervous system (CNS) insults. It can vary from acute reversable molecular changes aimed at preserving or restoring health and homeostasis, to chronic perturbations that contribute to disease progression. Much remains to be learned about the multicellular and multimolecular interactions that underlie different forms of neuroinflammation in different CNS disorders, and how these interactions might be beneficially modulated to improve outcomes.
This conference will examine how neuroinflammation in different contexts can maintain health or drive disease. We will examine genetic risks, evolutionary origins, response to viruses, autoimmunity, roles of specific cell types, interactions with microbiome, effects on behavior, and, together with our parallel conference, roles in neurodegeneration.
This conference will be held jointly with the Keystone Symposium on Neurodegeneration: From Neurocentric to System-Wide Perspectives to spark innovative cross-disciplinary insights and collaborations. This is a two-for-one experience, with one in-person registration buying access to both meetings.
