The 1st Annual World Congress of Vaccine provides high-quality and current reports of scientific progress featured in calling for presentations and submitted abstracts presenting six remarkable tracks, which not only cover a broad spectrum of current status of vaccine development in human vaccination fields, but also extend to livestock, agricultural and aquaculture vaccine R and D and business development. The disparate fields covered in both human and veterinary vaccinology encourage valuable cross-fertilization of ideas and approaches among researchers otherwise focused on specific diseases or methods. The congress will be the largest meeting devoted exclusively to the research on vaccines and associated technologies for disease prevention and treatment. Both international and domestic experts will lead sessions and panel discussions on topical areas of basic science, product development, clinical testing, regulation, and other aspects of vaccine research. Opportunities for networking and scientific collaboration critical to advancing vaccine science and development will be available through audience discussions, poster presentations, sponsored exhibits, and evening ceremonies and receptions.

As a distinct part of the dendritic cell system, Langerhans cells are important sentinels of the immune system in the skin. The scope of the workshop will be the immunobiology of Langerhans cells under physiological and, even more importantly, pathological conditions. Langerhans cells are involved in many dermatological diseases (e.g., SLE, atopic dermatitis, skin cancers, etc.) in ways that are currently being investigated. The workshop aims at bringing together and discussing the state-of-the-art knowledge on these topics with the perspective of ultimately being able to employ such knowledge for treating diseases.
