EVENT: 25-28 June 2013, Vigo, Spain - First International Conference of Fish and Shellfish Immunology - Global Aqua Link

EVENT: 25-28 June 2013, Vigo, Spain - First International Conference of Fish and Shellfish Immunology - Global Aqua Link | History of Immunology | Scoop.it

History

The International Society of Fish and Shellfish Immunology (ISFSI) was established in 2010 and the first meeting under this name will be held in Vigo (Spain) in 2013 (June 25-28).

 

But if you would like to know a bit more about the Society you must to go backwards until 1990, when fish immunologists from all Nordic countries initiated a collaboration to reduce diseases in aquaculture. The first meeting of the immunology group was held in Copenhagen during the same year.

 

Since then the Conferences took place in Tromsö, Norway (1991), Lysekil, Sweden (1993), Reykjavik (1995), Hirtshals (1998), Oslo (2001), Finland (2004), and Scotland (2007). The NOFFI society was formally done during the symposium in Lysekil but in 2007 the society decided to change its name to European Organisation of Fish Immunology (EOFFI) to extend its activities to other countries besides the Nordic territory. The change resulted in meetings being held outside the Nordic countries: Scotland (2007) and in Viterbo, Italy (2010), where it was decided to establish a new International Society of Fish and Shellfish Immunology (ISFSI).

 

In this new society, the immunology of shellfish is now considered for the fist time. Therefore, from the scientific and organization committee we welcome to the participation of research groups with shellfish study priorities. Besides, we expect more than 200 experts in the immunology field throughout the world.

The Compatibility Gene: How Our Bodies Fight Disease, Attract Others, and Define Our Selves (by Daniel M. Davis)

The Compatibility Gene takes readers on a global journey of discovery spanning 60 years, involving scores of scientists, and encompassing the history of transplants and immunology. That journey has revealed astonishing links between who we are as individuals and our never-ceasing struggle to survive disease.

Most of the 25,000 genes we possess are the same for all of us. Compatibility genes are those that vary most from person to person and give each of us a unique molecular signature. These genes determine both the extent to which we are susceptible to a vast range of illnesses and the different ways each of us fights disease. In The Compatibility Gene, distinguished immunologist Daniel Davis draws on new research to suggest a number of even more fascinating-and controversial-conclusions about compatibility genes: that we find others more or less sexy according to their compatibility genes (dating services are starting to match people in this way); that the wiring between some neurons is kept or broken according to the activity of compatibility genes; and that compatibility genes influence the chances of a couple having a successful pregnancy. Profoundly personal, life-forming and life-changing decisions appear to be governed by the actions of a few inherited genes. Most importantly, Davis proposes that because we each respond slightly differently to any particular disease, in the not-too-distant future vaccines and other medications may be tailored to match our compatibility genes, a revolutionary breakthrough in the fight against disease.

Including vivid portraits of the scientists who worked tirelessly to unlock the secrets of compatibility genes, as well as patients who survived disease due to lucky genetic inheritances, The Compatibility Gene explains an aspect of human biology that will undoubtedly have profound impacts on medical practice in the 21st Century.
