2nd International EFIS/EJI FOR2799 Workshop “Receiving and Translating Signals via the γδ TCR”
The workshop was organized by the DFG-funded consortium FOR2799 in collaboration with the University of Palermo and University of Milano. We also received patronage and financial support from the European Federation of Immunological Societies, the European Journal of Immunology, the Society of Leukocyte Biology and the biotech sponsors ImCheck, Gadeta, In8bio, and Evobright. Congratulations to the >30 young and bright receipients of travel awards, the future is yours!
FOR2799 Meeting
In October 2021, we enjoyed our first in person meeting since a long time, hosted by Thomas Herrmann in Würzburg. Topics were to catch up with each other’s projects, to celebrate our successful application for the second funding period and to welcome our two new FOR2799 members: Susana Minguet (Freiburg) and Thomas Krey (Lübeck).
γδ TCR International Online Workshop
This γδ TCR Workshop, featuring highly visible international capacities in the field, was followed by > 80 expert participants world-wide. It was initially planned as an on-site Satellite Symposium to the joined Symposium of the DGFI & ÖGAI in Hannover in 2020, which had to be postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
γδ TCR Repertoires Online Workshop
This online workshop was dedicated to discussing methods and results of γδ TCR repertoires analyses.
γδ TCR Online Workshop
We were able to adapt quickly - our first online workshop! It was initially planed as an on site meeting in Würzburg and set the stage for our application for a second funding period.
1st International Workshop "Receiving and Translating Signals via the γδ TCR"
Our first FOR2799 Workshop was dedicated to jointly investigate how the γδ TCR is activated, how γδ T cells respond to TCR activation, and how the γδ TCR may help to employ γδ T cells to targeting cancer and infected cells. This two-day-workshop provided a platform to showcase the FOR2799 projects, to exchange ideas and unpublished data within the European γδ T cell community, and last but not least to network. After receiving the funding for FOR2799, we were lucky enough to directly proceed to execution of our plans for an international workshop “Receiving and Translating Signals via the γδ TCR”, held in June 2019, well before the worldwide shutdown of conference activities in early 2020.
