Second International Conference on Cytokine Medicines

Expert Opin Biol Ther. 2005 Sep;5(9):1255-8. doi: 10.1517/14712598.5.9.1255.

Abstract

The Second International Conference on Cytokine Medicine was held in Manchester, UK and was organised by an international consortium comprising leading clinicians and researchers from healthcare organisations, universities and industry, all with cognate interests in this field. The conference attracted a diverse mix of delegates including clinicians from a wide range of specialities, biomedical scientists, and a barrister with particular expertise in the legal aspects of care provision in healthcare systems. This meeting uniquely focused on cytokine therapies across the spectrum of medical problems, from bench to bedside, including emerging applications for cytokine therapies, issues raised by the delivery of cytokine medicines in clinical practice, and future developments in this broad and exciting area.
