Free Access to eSymposia On Demand

Written by Shannon Weiman | Jun 4, 2021 3:01:00 PM

A key part of our mission at Keystone Symposia is to extend the reach of the latest scientific and medical discoveries to diverse audiences around the globe, so they may benefit all of humanity. In this spirit, we are offering individuals from low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) FREE access to all OnDemand content from our eSymposia virtual meeting series.

Virtual meetings democratize science by removing economic and geographic barriers to participation, enabling the inclusion of more diverse voices and perspectives in conversations at the forefront of science and medicine. In addition, information that is typically confined behind closed doors at the meeting hall can now be easily disseminated to global audiences. Access to these scientific insights, tools and technologies is critical to drive science and medicine forward in all parts of the world, in addition to our own.

By providing free OnDemand access to LMIC individuals, we aim to empower everyone around the world with this knowledge. From students, to doctors, to public health experts, we hope these resources will enable diverse peoples to pursue their research and career goals, and to aspire to even greater heights.

On Demand Access to eSymposia includes:

  • Keynote & plenary session recordings for the latest scientific advances from field leaders
  • ePosters for insights into new research directions and rising stars in the field
  • Session forums for extended Q/As with speakers
  • Career roundtable & meet-the-editor panel recordings for critical career advancement and publishing advice
  • Job board for new career opportunities... and more!
  • Unlimited Access to meeting materials for at least 9 months after the meeting concludes, so you can delve in at your convenience, and revisit any content as often as you like.

HIV Vaccines

Inform HIV vaccine design and evaluation to discuss progress and outstanding challenges in areas such as:
1) The design of immunogens and strategies for optimization of germinal center responses to elicit HIV-1 broadly neutralizing antibodies
2) Identifying prospects for harnessing other antibody effector functions to confer protection
3) Developing approaches for eliciting rapidly-acting, efficacious HIV-specific CD8 T cell responses
4) How to use novel technologies, animal model systems and small-scale clinical trials to inform vaccine development efforts. 

HIV Pathogenesis and Cure

Studying basic aspects of HIV virology as well as investigators working directly on the cure problem. Immune-based strategies to eliminate infected cells are an important component of many cure strategies, providing a logical connection to hold the joint conference on HIV Vaccines.

Epigenetics, Chromatin Architecture, Development and Disease

This conference showcased the interdisciplinary nature of the field, with talks combining state-of-the-art super-resolution imaging, sophisticated genetics, and single-cell regulatory genomics. It focused on chromatin mechanisms, including genome topology, DNA and RNA modifications, histone modifications, ATP-dependent nucleosome remodeling complexes, histone variants, chaperones, and others.
