About the Conference
The remarkable growth of vaccine biotechnology continues apace in basic science discovery, product development, market introduction, and adoption into immunization programs. New cytokines are identified, innate and induced immune regulatory pathways unraveled, novel adjuvants and antigen constructs prove effective, and recently-licensed products achieve high coverage, already yielding noticeable decreases in disease incidence. One can envision a growing number of challenging maladies – including chronic, non-infectious, and neoplastic – that may become vaccine-preventable or vaccine-treatable in the years ahead.
The conference provides high-quality, up-to-date reports of such scientific progress in its unique mix of invited presentations by acknowledged international experts in symposia of topical interest, and via its sessions and posters of peer-reviewed submitted abstracts. The ACVR encourages the participation of all the disparate fields of vaccinology in both its human and veterinary domains in order to facilitate valuable cross-fertilization of ideas and approaches among researchers often narrowly focused on their specific diseases or methods.
The ACVR promises to maintain its position as the largest scientific meeting devoted exclusively to research on vaccines and associated technologies for disease prevention and treatment through immunization. It is a premier venue for cutting-edge learning, effective data-sharing, and convenient networking for scientific collaboration.

Nanomaterials and Worker Health: Occupational Health Surveillance, Exposure Registries, and Epidemiological Research
2,5 days in July 2010
Colorado
|
|
Jul 01, 2010
- Jul 31, 2010
|
|
Overview
A growing number of workers around the world deal with the production, use, distribution, and disposal of nanomaterials. While nanomaterials present seemingly limitless possibilities, they bring with them new challenges to understanding, predicting and managing potential safety and health risks to workers. New and emerging evidence suggests that certain nanomaterials may have an adverse biological impact on human health. Studies on air pollution and ultrafine particles also raise questions about their possible harmful effects on workers. Precautionary control measures have been widely recommended for workplaces that manufacture, use, distribute, and dispose of nanomaterials.
In the face of uncertainty about the potential occupational health effects posed by nanomaterials, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and its co-sponsors will convene a conference to identify gaps in information and address questions focusing on occupational health surveillance, exposure registries, and epidemiologic research involving nanotechnology workers. In each of these areas, this conference will:
- Share existing knowledge
- Identify major issues
- Examine successful approaches
- Explore new approaches, techniques, and models
This conference will enable members of the occupational safety and health community concerned with nanomaterials and the health of workers to address fundamental questions and seek practical solutions for carrying out occupational health surveillance, compiling exposure registries, and conducting epidemiological research.
