Join us on Monday, 14 September 2026 from 09:00 to 18:00 at Queen's College, Cambridge to explore different facets of immune memory with world-leading researchers in both academia and industry.
The 2026 edition of the long-running Cambridge Immunology Forum hosted by the BSI Cambridge Immunology Group and the Cambridge Immunology Network will focus on “Total Immune Recall”. The meeting will provide a platform to explore parallels and intersections between different facets of immune memory, from innate training of haematopoietic stem cells to adaptive lymphocyte memory and neural-regulated immune recall in disease.
Follow @bsicongress, @britsocimm.bsky.social and @BSICambridge and check the event hashtag #BSICambridge26 for more updates.
Abstract submission
The abstract submission deadline is Monday 10 August 2026.
