Join us on Monday 14 September 2026 at Queens' College, Cambridge, for a full day exploring the remarkable biology of immune memory with leading researchers from academia and industry.
Hosted by the BSI Cambridge Immunology Group and the Cambridge Immunology Network, this year's Cambridge Immunology Forum, "Total immune recall", will bring together experts to examine the many dimensions of immune memory and how they intersect across health and disease.
The programme will explore topics ranging from innate immune training of haematopoietic stem cells and adaptive lymphocyte memory to neural regulated immune recall, highlighting the latest discoveries and emerging opportunities across the field.
Whether your research focuses on fundamental mechanisms or translational science, this meeting offers an excellent opportunity to hear from world leading speakers, share ideas and connect with colleagues across the immunology community.
