 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ThymUS 2016 International Conference on Lymphopoiesis, T cell Differentiation and Immune Reconstitution will be held in Wailea Beach, HI from June 5-10, 2016. This is the fifth iteration of this conference, which is the only US-based conference specifically dedicated to the topic of the thymus and T lymphocyte differentiation, and how these processes are altered during aging and by disease. The conference therefore has a unique scientific content, addressing the highly dynamic and prolific field of adaptive immunity, thymus organogenesis, and T cell development and differentiation, and is relevant for resistance to infection, immune homeostasis from birth to aging, immune reconstitution after therapeutic or pathologic T cell ablation, self-tolerance, and autoimmunity. Importantly, the conference provides several unparalleled features, including (i) a singular focus on thymus biology, which is unique in the Americas; (ii) low cost to all attendees, with additional subsidies provided to trainees; (iii) an extremely rich array of unbiased presentation opportunities, with special attention to trainees; (iv) a highly stimulating informal interactive environment, providin trainees with access to leaders in the field for the duration of the conference; and (v) linkage to an industry-sponsored Society of Immunotherapy in Cancer (SITC) conference on immune-therapy in cancer to place in clinical context the basic science findings presented at ThymUS.

 描述（由申请人提供）： ThymUS 2016 国际淋巴细胞生成、T 细胞分化和免疫重建会议将于 2016 年 6 月 5 日至 10 日在夏威夷州维雷亚海滩举行。这是该会议的第五次会议，也是唯一一次总部位于美国 会议专门讨论了胸腺和 T 淋巴细胞分化的主题，以及这些过程在衰老和疾病过程中如何改变，因此，会议具有独特的科学内容，涉及适应性免疫、胸腺器官发生和免疫学等高度动态和多产的领域。 T 细胞发育和分化，与抵抗感染、从出生到衰老的免疫稳态、治疗性或病理性 T 细胞消融后的免疫重建、自我耐受和自身免疫相关。无与伦比的特点，包括（i）对胸腺生物学的独特关注，这在美洲是独一无二的（ii）所有参与者的费用低廉，并有额外补贴； 为受训者提供极其丰富的、公正的演讲机会，特别关注受训者； v) 链接到 由行业主办的癌症免疫治疗学会 (SITC) 癌症免疫治疗会议，将 ThymUS 上提出的基础科学发现置于临床背景中。
