59th Annual Meeting of the Society for Leukocyte Biology
NIAID - National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
About This Grant
ABSTRACT This proposal is to request support for the 59th Annual Meeting of the Society for Leukocyte Biology (SLB) entitled: “Leukocytes: It’s All About Location.” The meeting will be held September 14 – 17, 2026, at the Blackwell Hotel and Conference Center at Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. Funds requested here will be distributed in the form of travel awards that will provide much needed assistance to trainees and young investigators. The Co-Organizers of the 2026 meeting are Andrew Taylor, Ph.D. (Boston University) and Michelle Visser, Ph.D. (University at Buffalo). The SLB is the leading scientific society with a focus on leukocytes and their roles in the pathophysiology of acute and chronic diseases. No other scientific meeting regarding study of the immune system focuses on the leukocyte with the breadth and depth of the SLB, so the annual meetings organized by the SLB fill this void. Therefore, the SLB as a society convenes annually to promote scientific exchange among researchers and support the career development of trainees and junior investigators. Funds derived from this proposal will be distributed in the form of travel awards that will provide much needed assistance to facilitate the attendance of trainees. The essential goals of the annual meeting include: 1) advancing original research and related scientific endeavors in the field of leukocyte biology and inflammation, 2) promoting the career development of junior and new investigators interested in leukocyte biology, 3) disseminating information about the field to the wider scientific and lay audience, and 4) encouraging and facilitating the translation of basic research in leukocyte biology to applications in the clinic. These goals will be achieved through three Aims: Aim 1 is to provide an innovative and scientifically progressive program, in a collegial forum, to address the latest developments in leukocyte biology. The agenda will include a total of 4 Plenary Sessions and 8 Concurrent Sessions with a total of 20 invited speakers. Aim 2 is to provide an opportunity for new investigators and trainees to interact closely with each other and with established scientists. There will be numerous events and formats for mediating career development and networking activities at the meeting. Aim 3 is to promote the field of leukocyte biology by cultivating the next generation of scientists. There are several career development activities planned and many opportunities for networking, through both formal and informal sessions. In sum, the 2026 annual meeting of the SLB is purposefully designed to enhance awareness of the influence of leukocyte biology in health and disease and to inspire young investigators.
