Past Events

This new conference aims to bring together scientists working in the fields of molecular immunology, functional genomics and immune-mediated disease genetics, to expedite the journey from genetic association to mechanistic understanding and patient benefit through new insights into disease and novel therapeutics.

Joint Congress between the British Society for Immunology (BSI) and the Dutch Society for Immunology (NVVI) brings together two of Europe’s most established immunology organisations for a
jam-packed programme full of the latest immunology research, top speakers and diverse networking opportunities. Join over 1,000 delegates from around the globe for four days of cutting-edge science.

The format will be presentations in the morning followed by the opportunity to talk to representatives from the major funders and experts in drug development and commercialisation.
The aims of the roadshow are to:
- Support you to refine your research idea into a tangible drug discovery project in your disease area of interest
- Provide access to experienced drug discovery scientists to discuss your projects of interest
- Offer insight from big pharma on what ‘validation’ means
- Give you opportunity to talk to some of the major funders of translational and applied biomedical research in the UK
The roadshow is a collaboration between Charles River Laboratories, the Milner Therapeutics Institute, the Office of Translational Research and the Bioscience Impact Team.

In recent years, Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILCs) have emerged as a new relevant field in immunology, contributing to tissue homeostasis as well as defense against pathogens and inflammatory disorders.

Call for abstracts

An overview of molecular imaging: from macroscopic to microscopic level 

Dr Bangwen Xie (Cancer Research UK CI) & Dr Jérôme Boulanger (MRC LMB)

Professor Dame Sally Davies, Chief Medical Officer for England, will deliver this year’s prestigious Annual Public Health lecture, entitled: The (In)Discipline of Public Health.

The lecture will follow the 2016 CIPH and Network annual public health conference, which will examine the interface between infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases.

The NIHR Cambridge BioResource is hosting a symposium for research nurses on Friday 18th November. This fantastic free event for research nurses will bring nurses across the country to connect, share practice and celebrate their speciality.

Dr Paul Edwards, Dept of Pathology is giving two lectures as an introduction to cancer biology aimed at PhD students

The free SciBar event on Tuesday 8 November from 7pm at the Novi Espresso and Cocktail Bar on Regent Street is hosted jointly by Cambridge British Science Association, Cambridge University Health Partners and the University of Cambridge to mark World Diabetes Day.
