Cambridge Immunology Network

The 18th Cambridge Immunology Forum – ‘Tissue-Resident Immunity'

In 2017, the home of the annual Cambridge Immunology Forum will be Queens' College Cambridge. The date will be 27th September 2017

Public Engagement!

The 2017 Cambridge Science Festival welcomed everyone to explore and discuss science through talks, hands-on activities, performances, exhibitions and films. This year we are ‘getting personal’, looking at health and disease, our place in the world and our impact on the environment in which we live. The Cambridge Immunology "Your personal immune army" exhibition and "The good, the bad and the ugly: antibodies, microbes and immunity" panel discussion were a great success!

FOCIS

The Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies (FOCIS) exists to improve human health through immunology by fostering interdisciplinary approaches to both understand and treat immune-based diseases. Initially established as a cross-disciplinary meeting, FOCIS held its first Annual Meeting in 2011 and we look forward to seeing you at our 17th Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois!

Immunology PhD and Postdoc Day

The idea behind this event is to give the PhD students and Postdoc’s an internal event where they can showcase their work in a non-competitive environment, giving them the chance to prepare for external conferences. With input from our Immunology network PhD and post-doc committee, a programme will put together with several short talks form many of our Cambridge researchers. There will be two keynote talks from PI’s (Early: Dr Milka Sarris, Established: Prof Gordon Dougan FRS). There will also be a keynote talk from a special guest.

The bug hunters and the microbiome

Jun 23, 2017

Trevor Lawley and Gordon Dougan are bug hunters, albeit not the conventional kind. The bugs they collect are invisible to the naked eye. And even though we’re teeming with them, researchers are only beginning to discover how they keep us healthy – and how we could use these bugs as drugs.
