Abstract

ABSTRACT The 11th International gd T Cell Conference will be held at the Hilton Toronto, Ontario, Canada, from May 20 to May 23, 2025. This is the eleventh iteration of a biennial conference, which is the only meeting specifically dedicated to the topic of gd T lymphocyte development and function, and how these cells could be used to develop new cell-based therapies. The conference therefore has a unique scientific content that bridges the highly dynamic and prolific fields of adaptive and innate immunity, and is relevant to tissue homeostasis, inflammation, infection, and cancer treatments. Notably, the conference provides several unique features, including (i) a singular focus on gd T cell biology; (ii) affordable cost to all attendees, with additional subsidies for trainees; (iii) a rich selection of presentation opportunities, with special attention to trainees; and (iv) a very stimulating interactive environment, providing trainees with access to leaders in the field throughout their time at the conference. The 2025 International gd T Cell Conference will bring together an international group of investigators working on all aspects of gd T cell biology to discuss unpublished results and develop new paradigms and directions for future research.
