Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am pleased to welcome you to the 14th International Symposium on Dendritic Cells in Fundamental and Clinical Immunology which will be held on October 14-18, 2016, in Shanghai, China.

DC2016 aims to be an inspiring scientific event and all the participants will benefit from the scientific program and social program. The theme of DC2016 covers the traditional and newly emerging topics, including the DC development and transcriptional regulation, DC signaling and epigenetics，antigen processing and presentation, DC and T cell subsets , DC and infectious diseases and microbiomes，DC and autoimmune diseases, DC and immunotherapy for cancer. About 30 leading scientists have confirmed to join the symposium and give talks. Also we expect about 1000 participants from both home and abroad. Furthermore, we will provide more opportunities for the young investigators to give oral presentation. We wish deep discussion will be made and more collaboration will be built after this symposium.

We also arrange social programs to help the communication between the participants and understand Chinese culture. October is the best season to enjoy the beautiful scene of China. We wish all the participants will enjoy your stay.

We would like to thank all the international advisory members to give suggestions on the topics of the scientific program and selections for the oral and poster presentation. We also would like to thank all the sponsors for their generous support. We thank all the efforts which make DC2016 a high-level symposium and a happy memory.

We look forward to meeting you in Shanghai!
