International Gamma Delta T-cell Conference

T cells have broad function such as tissue homeostasis/ tissue repair and immune regulation/responses to cancers, inflammation/ autoimmunity, and infections contributing to immune resistance to tuberculosis. Recent studies have continuously made new discoveries about the biology and function of γδ T cells. Translational studies in clinical trials and pre-clinical proof-of- concept investigations continuously explore utility and efficacy of γδ T cell-based immunotherapeutic treatment of cancer patients and nonhuman primates with TB and other infections.

2014 marks the 30th anniversary of the discovery of gamma delta t-cells, and our Friday kick-off will feature talks by some of the key scientists who worked in the earliest phases of gamma delta t-cell research. Topics that will be covered in the conference include Historical Overview of γδ T-Cell Discovery; γδ T-Cell Development and Homeostasis; Antigens and Ligands for γδ T Cells; Co-receptors and Co-stimulatory Molecules of γδ T Cells; γδ T Cells and Their Neighbors; γδ T Cells In Infections and Immunity; γδ T Cells In Inflammation, Tissue Repair, and Autoimmunity; γδ T Cells in Cancers; γδ T Cells and Immunotherapy.

We welcome all who have an interest in this very exciting and promising area of biomedical research.
