scientific tracks

Track: 1 Vaccine & Immunization

The goal of public health is to prevent disease. It's much easier and more cost-effective to prevent a disease than to treat it. That's exactly what immunizations aim to do. Immunizations, or vaccines as they're also known, safely and effectively use a small amount of a weakened or killed virus or bacteria or bits of lab-made protein that imitate the virus in order to prevent infection by that same virus or bacteria.

·       Vaccination is a highly effective method of preventing certain infectious diseases.

Track 2: Pathology and Immunology

Clinical immunology deals with the study of diseases caused due to the disorders in the immune system. The disorders may be failure or aberrant action of immune system and sometimes due to malignant growth of cellular and molecular components of immune system. Hence cellular biology, molecular biology fields of science come into picture.  Immunology deals with the study of several components of immune system, the immune reactions and mechanisms. Clinical Immunogenetics or immunogenetics is the study of medical genetics that explores the relationship between the immune system and genetics. By studying immunogenetics, we have been able to safely perform blood transfusions and organ transplants, as well as treat autoimmune diseases like diabetes. immunology and allergy is a specialty of renewed interest and untapped potential. It covers several fields like pathology, biochemistry, biotechnology, genetics, pharmaceuticals, medicine etc.

The study of these fields give hope to research and taps career for:

·       Immunologists

·       Cell biologists

·       Molecular biologists

·       Biochemists

·       Bioinformaticians

·       Allergists

·       Physicians

·       Microbiologists

·       Pediatricians so on.

 Allergy is the condition of adverse reaction of immune system towards any foreign substance.

Track 3: Immunological Disorders

Immune system disorders cause abnormally low activity or overactivity of the immune system. In cases of immune system overactivity, the body attacks and damages its own tissues (autoimmune diseases). Immune deficiency diseases decrease the body's ability to fight invaders, causing vulnerability to infections. In excess of 80 diseases happen because of the immune system assaulting the body's own organs, tissues, and cells.

Some of the more common autoimmune diseases include:

·       type 1diabetes

·       rheumatoid arthritis

·       systemic lupus erythematosus and

·       inflammatory bowel disease.

Despite the fact that the reasons for some immune system diseases stay obscure, a man's genes in a mix with contaminations and other environmental exposures are probably going to assume a critical part in disease improvement.

Track 4: Human Vaccines-infectious & non-infectious

Infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis(TB), malaria, poliomyelitis, and some others tropical diseases (NTDs) are rapidly spread out through communication(verbal), water, and wind. It also transmitted by vectors (mosquitoes, flies) and a major issue in developing countries. In the past, infectious diseases had been widely spread-out in developing countries and chronic diseases were found primarily in high-income countries. However, the global pattern of disease burden is shifting. While infectious disease still remains a major problem in many countries, chronic diseases, including such non-communicable conditions as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and respiratory disease, are now the major cause of death and disability, not only in developed countries but also worldwide

·       Influenza Vaccines

·       OPV Vaccine

·       Rubella Vaccine

·       Pneumonia Vaccines

Track 5: Clinical Immunology and Allergy

Clinical immunology deals with the study of diseases caused due to the disorders in the immune system. The disorders may be failure or aberrant action of immune system and sometimes due to malignant growth of cellular and molecular components of immune system. Hence cellular biology, molecular biology fields of science come into picture.  Immunology deals with the study of several components of immune system, the immune reactions and mechanisms. Clinical immunology and allergy is a specialty of renewed interest and untapped potential.

It covers several fields like:

·       pathology

·       biochemistry

·       biotechnology

·       genetics

·       pharmaceuticals

·       medicine etc.

The study of these fields give hope to research and taps career for immunologists, cell biologists, molecular biologists, biochemists, bioinformaticians, allergists, physicians, microbiologists, pediatricians and so on. Allergy is the condition of adverse reaction of immune system towards any foreign substance.

Track 6: Infection and Immunity

The invasion of foreign organism on a host body for its growth and multiplication is termed as infection. The infection can lead to infectious diseases/ transmissible disease/ communicable disease. The infection can be caused by any infectious agents and their toxins causing several immune reactions like allergy, inflammation etc. Immune or allergic reactions arise upon infection due to the role of Host immune system to maintain immunity in the body.

The infectious agents may be:

·       bacteria

·       virus

·       fungus

·       parasites

·       protozoans etc.

As the agents vary, so does the route of transmission to enter into the host body and also the diseases, diagnosis and treatments.

Track 7: Immunology and Immune system

The branch of biology and medicine which deals with the study of immune system in different organisms is immunology. The study covers the several components of immune system, their production, synthesis, function, pathway mechanism etc. The immune system comprises of several components like lymphoid cells and organs, Hematopoiesis, Immune receptors and co-receptors, Major histocompatibility complex (MHC’s), Antibodies and Cytokines, Transcription factors, Cell adhesion molecules (CAM’s) etc.

These components play a vital role individually and in a group in an organism’s life against several infections and pathogens.

Immunology field of study is an aggregation of several other fields like

·       biology

·       cellular biology

·       biochemistry

·       nanotechnology

·       molecular biology

·       biotechnology

·       bioinformatics

·       computer science

·       sensor technology

·       pathology etc

Track 8: Viral Immunology: Emerging and Re-emerging Diseases

Viruses are firmly immunogenic and actuate two sorts of resistant reactions; humoral and cellular. The collection of specificities of T and B cells are framed by modifications and substantial transformations. T and B cells don't, for the most part, perceive similar epitopes present on a similar infection.

·       B cells see the free unaltered proteins in their local 3-D adaptation though T cells typically observe the Ag in a denatured frame related to MHC atoms.

The qualities of the resistant response to a similar infection may vary in various people contingent upon their hereditary constitutions.

Track 9: Paediatric Immunology

Antibodies that should be regulated to people amid the youth phase of life can be named as Child immunizations. These immunizations are basically in charge of the enlistment of a safe framework and advancement of immunogenic reaction inside the tyke.

·       The sicknesses avoided by the newborn child and youth antibodies are not kidding and even fatal.

·       Measles can spread to the cerebrum, cause mental harm and demise.

·       Mumps can cause lasting deafness.

·       Polio can cause loss of motion.

Unfortunately, these illnesses have not vanished. There is no treatment and no solution for maladies like measles, polio, and tetanus.

Track 10: Vaccines Against Drugs

Drug addiction is a difficult issue around the world. One treatment being explored is immunizations against medications of mishandling. The antibodies inspired against the medication can take up the medication and keep it from achieving the reward focuses on the mind. Scarcely any such immunizations have entered clinical preliminaries, however, look into is going on apace. Numerous examinations are exceptionally encouraging and more clinical preliminaries ought to turn out sooner rather than later.

·       Morphine Vaccines

·       Heroin Vaccines

·       Methamphetamine Vaccines

·       Nicotine Vaccines

·       Cocaine Vaccines

·       Opioids Vaccines

 

Track 11: Oncolmmunology

Tumor immunology deals with the natural or therapy-induced recognition of cancers, as well as with the intricate interplay between oncogenesis, inflammation and immunosurveillance. We now create a new, high-profile journal, Oncoimmunology, that specifically deals with tumor immunology. Recent progress has allowed for the first clinical demonstration (and FDA approval) of anticancer immunotherapies. There is also an ever growing suspicion that - unexpectedly - many of the currently used chemotherapeutic agents depend in their efficacy on the active contribution of immune effectors.

To use a drastic metaphor, oncologists who applied successful chemotherapeutic (or radiotherapeutic) regimens have taken advantage of the immune system's capacity to recognize tumor-specific or tumor-associated antigens and to control cancer (stem) cell growth, without being aware of the invisible helping hands.

·       As a result, immunological biomarkers are becoming ever more important to determine the prognosis of cancers and to predict the efficacy of chemotherapies

 

Track 12: Immunoinformatics

Immunoinformatics (in some cases alluded to as computational immunology) is a sub-part of bioinformatics that spotlights on the utilization of information administration and computational apparatuses to enhance immunological research. The extent of immunoinformatics covers a wide assortment of a domain, from the genomic and proteomic investigation of the resistant framework to sub-atomic and life form level demonstrating, placing it in close ties with genome informatics.

·       T cell epitope predictions from primary sequences

·       Peptide binding predictions to MHC class I and MHC class II

·       B cell epitope predictions – linear versus conformational epitopes (3D structure)

·       Antigen structure prediction via protein homology model

 

Track 13: Veterinary Vaccine

The main goal to produce the veterinary vaccine is to improve the health of the animals also its welfare. By increasing the production of veterinary vaccines, the animal to human transmitted diseases from both domestic and wildlife can be prevented. Commonly the dog vaccines (Vaccines for canine parvovirus, canine hepatitis and rabies are considered core vaccines. Non-core vaccines are given depending on the dog's exposure risk.

These include vaccines against:

·       Bordetella bronchiseptica

·       Borrelia burgdorferi and

·       Leptospira bacteria is as popular as the veterinary vaccine.

The infectious diseases that get transmitted to humans from animals can be prevented.

Track 14: Vaccine Safety and Efficancy

For the past two centuries, vaccines have provided a safe and effective means of preventing a number of infectious diseases. Although the safety of some vaccines has been questioned in recent years, the currently available vaccines are more than a millionfold safer than the diseases they are designed to prevent. Vaccines, however, should always be used in conjunction with other public health interventions. One important intervention is education because the general public can be led to believe that vaccines are unsafe and not needed by misinformation readily available electronically and in print. Not only are some vaccines available via injection but other vaccines are also given orally or intranasally.

·       New vaccines are being studied for topical and intravaginal use. In addition, new systems are being developed for the more efficient production of vaccines, especially for influenza.

·       Testing and evaluation of the vaccine before it’s licensed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and recommended for use by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

·       Monitoring the vaccine’s safety after it is recommended for infants, children, or adults

 

Track 15: Immunotoxicology

mmunotoxicity refers to an adverse or inappropriate change in the structure or function of the immune system after exposure to a foreign substance. Adverse effects can be manifest as immunosuppression, hypersensitivity, or autoimmunity.

·       Hypersensitivity

·       Chronic Inflammation

·       Immunosuppression

·       Immunostimulation

·       Autoimmunity

 

Track 16: Parasite Immunology

The effects of parasitic worms, or helminths, on the immune system are a recently emerging topic of study among immunologists and other biologists. Experiments have involved a wide range of parasites, diseases, and hosts. The effects on humans have been of special interest. The tendency of many parasitic worms to pacify the host's immune response allows them to mollify some diseases, while worsening others.

Track 17: Immunogenicity and Immune Tolerance

Immunogenetics or immunogenetics is the study of medical genetics that explores the relationship between the immune system and genetics. By studying immunogenetics, we have been able to safely perform blood transfusions and organ transplants, as well as treat autoimmune diseases like diabetes.

Track 18: Vaccines for Pregnant Women

Vaccination during pregnancy can possibly secure the mother and the new-born child against antibody preventable infections. New conceived new-born children are at high-chance for huge ailment and demise from certain irresistible maladies in light of the fact that their insusceptible framework has not completely created.

·       One point of immunizing pregnant ladies is to expand the measure of maternal counter acting agent (proteins that battle malady) moved to babies, possibly shielding them from irresistible infection.
