DESCRIPTION:A three day event discussing aspects of vaccine development an
 d vaccinations. \n\nThis year there are three main topics for discussion\n
 Next Generation Vaccines: \n* Adjuvants and delivery systems\n* Advances i
 n overcoming co-infections\n* The use of pseudotypes to study viruses\, vi
 rus sero-epidemiology and vaccination \n \nWith plenty of opportunity  for
  networking and debate\, this informal international  meeting will bring y
 ou up to date with current research and thinking regarding vaccines and va
 ccination. \n\nThis event has an open poster session.  Posters can be subm
 itted on any subject related to vaccines and vaccination\n\nThis event  ha
 s CPD accreditation\n\n*Who Should Attend*\nPublic and animal health scien
 tists \nScientists developing\, or with an interest in\, new or enhanced v
 accine adjuvants \nIndividuals interested in novel vaccine delivery system
 s\nIndividuals establishing diagnostic assays for viruses. \nEpidemiologis
 ts\, virologists\, immunologists\, R&D\, pre-clinical vaccinologists\nBasi
 c scientists\, industrial experts\, and clinicians with an interest in the
  science of viral co-infection.\n\nThe deadline for abstract submissions f
 or oral presentation is August 10th 2014\nAbstracts for poster presentatio
 n only can be submitted up to two weeks before the event\n.\nYou can downl
 oad the instructions for authors at   www.euroscicon.com/ABSTRACTSUBMISSIO

 ts and delivery systems\nThis session will discuss current research into t
 he development of new or enhanced adjuvants and novel delivery systems whi
 ch are widely accepted as key to creating more efficacious vaccines with i
 mproved methods for storage and delivery.  Session Chair: To be confirmed\
 nMorning Poster Session:  Vaccine Adjuvants\nAfternoon Poster Session:  Va
 ccine Delivery Systems\n\n* Day 2: Advances in overcoming co-infections \n
 The advent of effective combination antiretroviral therapy has made living
  with\, rather than dying from HIV-1 infection a reality. Now\, an ageing 
 HIV-1 seropositive population are living with co-infection by pathogens fo
 r which effective treatments remain in development. As the effort to devel
 op prophylactic or therapeutic vaccines continue\, the aim of this session
  will  highlight advances in the science of pathogens commonly found as co
 -infections in people living with HIV.  Session Chair:  Christopher JK War
 d\, Innate Immune Sensors Group Institute of Infection & Immunity Cardiff 
 University School of Medicine\nMorning Poster Session:  Research in overco
 ming co -infections\nAfternoon Poster Session:  Open poster session. \n\n*
  Day 3: The use of pseudotypes to study viruses\, virus sero-epidemiology 
 and vaccination  \nThe switching of surface envelope proteins expressed on
  the surface of pseudotype viruses enables them to be used as surrogate vi
 ruses in neutralization/antiviral screening assays and for the study of ce
 ll–virus receptor interactions. This day will discuss ongoing research\,
  assay development  and applications of the using pseudotype viruses for v
 irus detection and vaccination.  \n\nMorning Session\nHuman virus pseudoty
 pes.  Chair:  Dr Nigel Temperton\, Senior Lecturer\, University of Kent\, 
 UK\n\nAfternoon Session\nAnimal virus pseudotypes.  Chair:  Dr Simon Scott
 \, University of Kent\, UK\n\nMorning Poster Session:  Human virus pseudot
 ype\nAfternoon Poster Session:  Animal virus pseudotypes.
