The 2025 edition of the long-running Cambridge Immunology Forum hosted by the BSI Cambridge Immunology Group and the Cambridge Immunology Network will focus on “Immune highways: interconnected defence across organs”. The meeting will be held on Tuesday 23 September 2025 in Cambridge and offers an excellent opportunity for researchers in both academia and industry to discuss this important and exciting area of research.
This meeting will continue the tradition of the Cambridge Immunology Forum focusing on a single immunological theme which covers aspects from basic science through to clinical applications and will feature a range of local and world leaders in this interesting field. Topics that will be covered include neuroimmunology, the “gut – brain” axis, immune cell migration and chemotaxis, maintaining tissue homeostasis, the cytokine network, and vascular immunology.
