SUMMARY:Symposium „Modern vaccination strategies”
DESCRIPTION:Within the last centuries, infection research has significantly
  contributed to combating various infectious diseases, such as pox, measles
 , mumps, rubella, poliomyelitis, diphtheria and tetanus. Today, vaccination
 s save millions of lives each year. During the last 50 years, the use of va
 ccinations helped to decrease infant mortality by 50 percent. Despite the p
 rogress achieved, the number of vaccinations declines and a large proportio
 n of the population is rather sceptical about it.The symposium, presented b
 y the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina in collaboration with 
 the French Académie des Sciences and the Max Planck Institute for Infection
  Biology, addresses opportunities of vaccination research and also covers p
 erspectives of modern vaccination strategies. Having been used so far to fi
 ght infectious diseases, latest immunology research has developed further a
 reas of application for vaccinations including the treatment of allergies, 
 autoimmune diseases and even cancer.The symposium will take place on the oc
 casion of the 50-year jubilee of the Élysée Treaty and its program will inc
 lude appearances by the Nobel laureate and Leopoldina member Prof. Harald z
 ur Hausen and Prof. Jules Hoffmann, Nobel laureate and member of the Leopol
 dina and the Académie des sciences. The symposium will be held in English. 
 The evening lecture of Harald zur Hausen “Primärprävention – Der einzige We
 g, die Krebserkrankungsrate zu senken“ (“Primary prevention – the only way 
 to reduce cancer morbidity”) will be held in German. Simultaneous interpret
 ation German-English will be provided.Registration is required for fboth ev
