We would like to invite you to this prestigious meeting, taking place at the Regents Park Conference Centre in London. It has been organised jointly between the UK Infectious Disease Research Network and St Georges University of London, Imperial College London and University of Utrecht.

Maintaining appropriate numbers and subpopulations of lymphocytes, lymphocyte homeostasis, is a fundamental requirement for good health.

Dysregulation of lymphocyte populations is pivotal to the pathology and progression of a diverse range of pathologies including leukaemia and AIDS.

This international meeting seeks to bring together, for the first time, scientists involved in studying the in vivo kinetics of human lymphocytes for a workshop to share concepts, discuss methodologies and explore future areas for research. The major goals of the meeting will be:
> firstly, to discuss the issues related to measuring and modelling lymphocyte turnover in health and disease
> secondly, to seek consensus for approaches to future studies which might investigate the impact of various interventions (such as therapies) on turnover of lymphocytes in humans
> thirdly, to identify and promote further areas for collaborative research between the groups involved in this important area.
