We are pleased to announce, and invite Global Health Travel Award and Scholarship applications plus abstract submissions for, our second conference in Brazil, to be held October 31-November 4, 2013 after the Grand Challenges in Global Health meeting for that program's grantees. The conference will:
- Convene with a keynote address by Rino Rappuoli
of Novartis Vaccines & Diagnostics on "Reverse Vaccinology" on November 1, followed by four days of stimulating plenary sessions, workshops and poster sessions;
- Explore the potential of systems biology in vaccine design and development, as well as genomic and structural approaches to antigen and adjuvant discovery, design and validation;
- Provide a rare opportunity bringing together immunologists, vaccinologists, virologists and systems biologists from academia, industry and government to accelerate progress in vaccine development.
Visit www.keystonesymposia.org/13T1 to view the full program, submit an abstract and register, and
