## Abstract

ABSTRACT
Support is requested for a Keystone Symposia conference entitled Tissue Immunity, organized by Drs. Bana
Jabri, Daniel Mucida and Ramnik Xavier. The conference will be held in Boulder, Colorado from January 26-
29, 2020.
How tissues integrate host-microbial signals and regulate immune responses has a critical impact on health
and disease. However, our understanding of tissue immunity is limited because of difficulties in accessing the
different organs and also due to the inherent complexity and individuality of the cellular circuits present in
different tissues. This conference will bring together scientists in the fields of mucosal immunology, neurology,
microbiology, metabolism and systems biology. The conference will discuss (i) the diversity of tissue resident T
cell subsets and their function and regulation, (ii) the regulation and role of mucosal B cell responses, (iii) the
role of the nervous system in the regulation of tissue immunity, (iii) how tissues integrate metabolic and
microbial cues to determine which type of immune response to mount, (iv) the existence of innate memory and
its role in pathophysiology, and (v) new approaches in the study of tissue immunity. Because of the
interdisciplinary nature of the conference and its focus on tissue immunity across organs and cell types, the
conference will give investigators a broad perspective on tissue immunity and encourage them to go beyond
the traditional disciplinary boundaries. An interactive workshop engage will engage industrial partners to define
new approaches to prevent and treat inflammatory disorders and cancer and will highlight new frontiers in
tissue immunity, cellular networks and inter-tissue communication in health and disease.
