International research event features AllerGen investigators

AllerGen Scientific Director Dr. Judah Denburg and AllerGen Principal Investigator Dr. Mark Larché, both of McMaster University, were invited speakers at the 2007 World Immune Regulation Meeting attended by 800 delegates.

Denburg and Larché were among more than 60 internationally renowned immunology specialists presenting at the international meeting held in Davos, Switzerland, April 11-15. AllerGen provided Silver Sponsorship for the meeting that was organized by the Swiss Institute of Allergy and Asthma Research.

The five-day meeting brought together internationally acclaimed experts from around the globe and from across multiple disciplines.

"The World Immune Regulation Meeting provided a tremendous networking opportunity," says Denburg. "We had the chance to promote AllerGen to renowned scientists from across several continents."

Several symposia and practical workshops were held, covering a variety of topics including biobanking, sampling issues, cellular and molecular interactions in immune regulation, and novel drug discovery and development.
