BIT's 1st Annual World Congress of Immunodiseases and Therapeutics was held in Beijing, China, on 15-17 May 2010. The meeting provided a venue for a wide spectrum of researchers in the basic sciences and clinical areas to present and share their data and ideas. The pervading theme of the meeting dealt with the concept that immune mechanisms underlie most, if not all, medical diseases and therefore the future of medical therapeutics necessitates a greater understanding and corrective manipulation of dysfunctional metabolic and immune pathways. The meeting was well run, educational and enjoyable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
