The TNF conference brings together scientists from around the world to exchange recent discoveries about the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand and receptor superfamilies.

The 11th TNF conference will take place on May 13-16, 2007, at the beautiful historic site of the Asilomar Conference Grounds on the Pacific Ocean coast near Monterey, California (about a 2 hour drive south of San Francisco).

The scientific program will cover topics ranging from basic science to translational research. Invited speakers, authors of selected abstracts, and poster presenters will report on new developments in our understanding of the structure, signaling mechanisms, and roles in biology and disease of TNF superfamily ligands and receptors.

Please join us for what promises to be an exciting meeting and a magnificent setting.
