The Keystone Symposium on Inhibitory Receptors in Immune Homeostasis, Disease, and Therapy was held in the picturesque setting of Breckenridge from January 16 to 19, 2024.
It proved to be an exceptional convergence of scientific exploration and natural beauty. Attended by numerous experts and enthusiasts alike, the symposium showcased groundbreaking research on inhibitory receptors, their pivotal role in immune function and their targeting for disease treatment. It was great pleasure and fun to co-chair the meeting with Linde Meyaard, Carla Rothlin and Jonathon Sedgwick.
Breckenridge, with its postcard-perfect landscapes blanketed in snow, provided an enchanting backdrop for the symposium. Attendees were not only treated to cutting-edge scientific discussions but also had the opportunity to unwind amidst the breathtaking scenery. Beyond the lecture halls and poster sessions, the snow resort, ski slopes and walks provided ample opportunities for networking and collaboration. The inclusive and collaborative spirit of the event contributed to its success.
The symposium featured a diverse array of presentations and discussions, shedding light on the multifaceted role of inhibitory receptors in immune homeostasis, disease pathology, and therapeutic interventions. Experts from various corners of the globe presented their latest findings, fostering an environment of knowledge exchange and collaborative exploration.
Postdocs Lindsay Serene and Matevz Rumpret presented their work. Their presence, as well as postdocs and PhD students from several countries, underscored the symposium's commitment to fostering the next generation of researchers and facilitating networking opportunities.
We look forward to the next 🤞 Symposium focused on Inhibitory Immune Receptors.
