7th September 2022, Hannover - Germany
Satellite Symposium on "Innate and Adaptive Signals received via the γδ TCR and αβ TCR"
The Satellite Symposium on Innate and Adaptive Signals received via the γδ TCR and αβ TCR will be organized by the γδ T cell research group (FOR2799) on 7th September as part of the upcoming joined Symposium of the DGFI & ÖGAI in Hannover.
In this Satellite Symposium, we will discuss and compare αβ versus γδ TCR signaling and ligands, their innate versus adaptive functions, development, tissue-residency and therapeutic applications.
With Yueh-hsiu Chien and Mark Davis (both from Stanford) who co-discovered the γδ and αβ TCR, respectively, Peter Steinberger (Med University Vienna) and Wolfgang Schamel (University of Freiburg) we are happy to have already attracted four excellent key note speakers. Further selected talks and a poster session will allow aficionados and interested newbies to exchange ideas on current topics in the field.
