At the beginning of October 2018 we held a meeting in Edinburgh focussed on the launch of the IUPHAR Guide to IMMUNOPHARMACOLOGY. Invited speakers contributed to productive discussions on the varying challenges and opportunities in immunopharmacology research. This page has links to the slidesets from the meeting (where permission was granted) and to the meeting report which summarises the presentations, discussions and outcomes.
There has been immense progress in immunopharmacology, but there are insufficient links between the immunological and pharmacological sciences. Thus, we have set up several initiatives.
The launch of GtoImmuPdb has also been reported in a Nature Review Immunology Web Watch article: Harding SD et al. (2018). A new guide to immunopharmacology. Nat Rev Immunol, 18(12):729. [PMID:30327546]
