DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Nutritional Immunology: Its Impact on Health and Disease " was selected by FASEB as a 2007 summer conference to beheld in Tucson, AZ , July 28-August 2. The meeting is organized around major diseases to include obesity, diabetes, GI disorders, aging and cancer. The focus will be on the unique fact that these diseases cause malfunction of the immune system which leads to more infections of greater duration, poor wound healing and chronic inflammation that damages tissues and organs. Our first objective will be to better understand the changes in diet, metabolism, gene expression and disease etiology that precipitates these adverse changes in the immune system. The second objective will be to identify ways to use diet, nutritional supplements and/ or immunotherapy to offset these undesirable effects. To accomplish this we are bringing together a diverse group of nutritionists, immunologists, nutritional-immunologists, biochemists and clinicians. In this relaxed, somewhat confined setting there can be an excellent exchange of ideas and expertise that may lead to new treatments. Within this group of scientists, we have included generous numbers of women, minorities and young investigators. Although the health related objectives of this meeting are of paramount importance, this meeting is also vital to strengthening the base of this young field as well as attracting other investigators. We are hoping for an attendance of 120-140 scientists, which is a realistic goal, since there has not been a major national meeting in nutritional immunology since 2003.

描述（由申请人提供）： 营养免疫学：它对健康和疾病的影响”是Faseb作为2007年夏季选择的 7月28日至8月2日在亚利桑那州图森举行的会议。会议围绕主要疾病举办，包括肥胖，糖尿病，胃肠道疾病，衰老和癌症。重点将放在这些疾病引起免疫系统故障的独特事实上，这会导致更多的持续时间感染，伤口愈合不良和慢性炎症，损害组织和器官。我们的第一个目标是更好地了解饮食，代谢，基因表达和疾病病因的变化，这些变化会导致免疫系统中这些不良变化。第二个目标是确定使用饮食，营养补充剂和/或免疫疗法来抵消这些不良影响的方法。为此，我们将一群营养学家，免疫学家，营养免疫学家，生物化学家和临床医生汇集在一起​​。在这种轻松的，有些限制的环境中，可以很好地交换思想和专业知识，这可能会导致新的治疗方法。在这组科学家中，我们包括慷慨的妇女，少数族裔和年轻调查员。尽管这次会议与健康相关的目标至关重要，但这次会议对于加强这一年轻领域的基础以及吸引其他研究人员也至关重要。我们希望出席120-140名科学家，这是一个现实的目标，因为自2003年以来一直没有营养免疫学的大型全国性会议。
