There have been many significant advances in recent years in understanding the turnover, migration and function of conventional T lymphocytes and the importance of resident T cell populations in local immune surveillance. CVIG will bring together speakers with expertise in the different disciplines that are being applied to advance this important field.

This meeting is being organised by the Comparative Veterinary Immunology Group (CVIG) of the British Society for Immunology (BSI) in conjunction with the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) UK and the UK Veterinary Vaccinology Network (UK VVN). CVIG and UK VVN have a shared vision that this meeting will advance our knowledge and understanding of conventional T cells and stimulate new cross species collaborations.

The UKVVN ERC scholarship provides £150 to aid early career researcher to attend the T Cell Biology Meeting hosted by CVIG in Edinburgh between the 2-3rd of April 2020.
