Workshop 3: Poster Clinic
- Date:
- November 14 (Thu), 2024
- Time:
- 12:40-13:40
- Venue:
- Meeting Room, 3F of CCII Bristol Myers Squibb Building
- Speaker:
- Bernd Pulverer, EMBO (Head of Scientific Publications)/EMBO Press (Chief Editor, EMBO Reports).
- Workshop theme:
- Poster Clinic
- Workshop outline:
- The Poster Clinic is an interactive workshop moderated by Dr. Bernd Pulverer. Colleagues will discuss each other's posters in turn in a closed setting to allow for detailed and open dialogue. Dr. Pulverer will lead the discussion and comment on each poster. The goal of the session is not only to share excellent science, but to see how your colleagues present their results and to receive detailed comments and suggestions on your own research and presentation style by your colleagues. The small-group setting makes for a relaxed and open discussion. One poster clinic presenter will be selected for the EMBO Reports poster prize at the end of the symposium.
Workshop 1
- Date:
- November 11 (Mon), 2024

- Silvio Gutkind, University of California San Diego, USA
- Workshop theme:
- Navigating collaborations, careers, and clinical development opportunities in immunology and immunotherapy
- Workshop outline:
- Dr. Silvio Gutkind is Distinguished Professor and Chair of Pharmacology at the University of California San Diego. Dr Gutkind will lead a discussion based on his experience in setting up collaborations and projects between research labs, clinicians, and companies. Dr. Gutkind is a leader in the field of G-protein coupled receptors and has explored their potential as druggable targets in a variety of diseases, including groundbreaking work on how GPCRs affect the efficacy of anti-tumor immunity. Dr. Gutkind also has a strong commitment to mentorship and will share with workshop participants his experience building collaborations across multiple sectors.
Workshop 2

- Speakers:
- Hongbo Chi, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, USA
Santiago Zelenay, Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, UK
Osamu Takeuchi, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University
- Workshop theme:
- Inflammation, aging & anti-tumor immunity
- Workshop outline:
- Dr. Hongbo Chi has made key contributions to the study of metabolic control of immune cell differentiation and immune responses. Dr. Santiago Zelenay focuses on the role of inflammation in both promoting and hindering anti-tumor immunity. Dr. Osamu Takeuchi studies the molecular mechanisms of RNA-mediated immune regulation. In this workshop, open to PhD students and postdoctoral fellows, they will present their work and discuss the methods, questions, and challenges of studying immune responses under various conditions of nutritional, inflammatory, senescent and other physiological settings.
