British Society for Immunology - Bristol Immunology Group Event

Event webpage: https://www.immunology.org/events/bristol-immunology-group-2025

Innate and adaptive arms of the immune response together orchestrate the effective control of acute infection. However, in an endeavour to restore tissue homeostasis, it is increasingly clear that the immune system plays a long game in its negotiations with foreign, tumour and self-antigens that expose us to chronic disease. Infection and its sequelae, the immunosurveillance of cancer, and dysfunctional immunity manifesting as autoimmunity all show an evolution in immune function through time.

This one-day event, organised by the BSI Bristol Immunology Group, will present current research in these areas, highlighting immunological mechanisms that evolve during the development and progression of disease.
