Updates
The 12th Congress of the International Society of Developmental and Comparative Immunology was held at Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk Hotel, Fukuoka city, Japan, from 9th to 13th July, 2012.
This Congress is an international meeting for scientists interested in all areas of immunology across the whole spectrum of living organisms. It will consider both adaptive and innate mechanisms from a comparative, developmental or evolutionary standpoint, emphasizing the multiplicity of recognition, effector and modulating pathways or factors that have arisen during evolution to deal with infection and non-self. Contributions reporting new findings at the organismal, cellular, biochemical or molecular levels are welcomed, as are papers on the interaction between environment and immunity, ontogeny, aging and the integration of immune reactivity with other physiological systems.
The 3.11 earthquake and tsunami hit the coastal area of northeast and east Japan. While about 5300 people are missing, situation of Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station is still serious. However, Japan has started to revive with much support from many countries worldwide. We are very much grateful for the help.
At the west edge of Japan, Fukuoka was not damaged by the 3.11 disaster nor by the following radioactive contamination. We believe that we can welcome you for ISDCI 2012 with no risk of environmental and food safety. Thank you very much for your continuous support and understanding.
