  1. Abstract:

    A meeting entitled, "Interferon Lambda: Disease Impact and Translational Potential," was held on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, on October 25-26, 2018. To our knowledge, this was the first meeting that focused exclusively on interferon lambda (IFN-?). The meeting 39;s purpose was to enhance interdisciplinary communication and promote new collaborations. The gathering brought together an international group of scientists from a wide range of disciplines. Sessions included: IFN-? Biology, Therapy and Genetic Variation; IFN-? and Hepatitis C Virus Infection; IFN-? in Other Infections; and IFN-?-Hepatic Fibrosis and Cancer. The next meeting on IFN-? is planned for 2020.
