Dear Friends & Colleagues,[/size][/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]
It is indeed a pleasure for me to invite you to the 24th Regional Congress of the ISBT to be held in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia on 1-4 December 2013. It is held in conjunction with the 6thNational Transfusion Medicine Conference.
This is the first time that the ISBT Congress has come to Malaysia and the Malaysian Blood Transfusion Society as the host welcomes you to Kuala Lumpur. The organising committee is in the process of preparing a programme that would be of interest to everyone working in this area of medicine, be it in blood establishment, hospital, laboratory or at the patient’s bedside. It will focus on practical, technical, scientific, research and clinical aspect of Transfusion Medicine. Internationally renowned speakers will be invited to participate and speak on their areas of expertise.
Transfusion Medicine has grown by leaps and bounds in the last decade. Asia has seen tremendous development in the provision of blood services. With it come improvements in organisation, service delivery, resources as well as technology, science and research. This congress would provide the opportunity to share and learn.
It will be held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, a state of the art venue, in the heart of the city within walking distance to numerous hotels.
It will also give you the opportunity for you to sample our Malaysian food, culture and hospitality.
Your participation is important to us. So make a date with us in Kuala Lumpur in 2013.[/size][/font][/color][color=#333333][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]

[center]A balanced immune response is maintained by a network of regulatory cells including T cells, B cells and iNKT cells. How these cells respond to their environment in order to dampen down inflammation and what goes wrong in autoimmunity, will be the focus of this meeting. Novel insights into positive and negative feedback mechanisms that help balance the immune environment will be discussed. It is only by understanding how immune regulation is maintained in health and what goes wrong during autoimmunity that new targets for therapy can be identified.[/center]
[center]We welcome abstract submission for this meeting: selected abstracts will be selected for short oral presentation.[/center]
[center]This event has CPD accreditation and will have a discussion panel session.[/center]
[center]Meeting Chairs: Dr Elizabeth Jury , UCL, London, Professor Robert Barker, University of Aberdeen[/center]
