The Sixth Annual Vaccine Renaissance Conference, hosted by the Institute for Immunology and Informatics (iCubed) at the University of Rhode Island (URI), took place on October 15-17, 2012. This conference provides a forum for the review of current progress in the discovery and development of vaccines, and creates an environment for the exchange of ideas. Dr. Joel McCleary opened the conference with a warning about the importance of preparing for well-defined biowarfare threats, including tularemia and Staphylococcal enterotoxin B. Following the keynote address, sessions explored biodefense and preparation for pandemic and biowarfare threats; vaccines for emerging and re-emerging neglected tropical diseases; animal vaccines and human health; and vaccine vectors and the human microbiome. In this issue of Human Vaccines and Immunotherapeutics, seven Vaccine Renaissance Conference speakers will showcase their work; here, we describe a few of the conference highlights.
第六届疫苗复兴会议于 2012 年 10 月 15 日至 17 日在罗得岛大学免疫与信息学研究所（iCubed）举办。该会议为评估疫苗研发的最新进展提供了一个平台，并为思想交流创造了一个环境。Joel McCleary 博士在会议开幕式上发出警告，称必须做好应对明确生物战威胁的准备，包括兔热病和葡萄球菌肠毒素 B。主旨演讲之后，会议探讨了生物防御以及对大流行和生物战威胁的准备；针对新出现和再现的被忽视热带病的疫苗；动物疫苗与人类健康；以及疫苗载体和人类微生物组。在本期《人类疫苗与免疫治疗》中，七位疫苗复兴会议发言人将展示他们的工作；在此，我们将介绍会议的一些重点内容。
