Immunobiophysics: From Fundamental Physics to Understanding the Immune Response - Third Edition

Workshop
April 27, 2025 - May 2, 2025
Immune recognition and effector mechanisms are largely mediated through direct cell-cell contacts, which elicit biochemical and mechanical signals that coordinate immune cell activation. While much progress has been made in understanding the biochemical reactions triggered by cellular communication, a role for mechanical force in shaping immune cell behaviour has only recently emerged. This meeting will explore immune cell regulation from a distinctly physical and mechanical perspective, with the aim of advancing opportunities for translational impact in human health and disease.
