Inspiring lecture by Bruno Silva-Santos on the potential of γδ T cells in cancer immunotherapy!🔬🔥

I couldn’t help but smile when looking at this slide: next Nobel Prize in Immunology for CAR T cells? Perhaps Carl June and Michel Sadelain should avoid hiking in October 2026?! 🏆😉

I love to teach especially when it is to 150 highly motivated students sharing my passion for Tregs!
During Nobel Week #SBII in Búzios 🇧🇷, the energy in the room was incredible.
My personal highlight: Steven Ziegler‘s historical perspective: from supressors to Tregs!

Congratulations to Zeca and Nicolas on their new IRL CNRS Laboratory!

Discussing Tregs and their discovery at the 1st Immune Health Symposium! I’ve always admired Shimon’s pioneering work, and Mary’s and Fred’s 2001 paper was the key inspiration for us to develop the DEREG model, demonstrating that not only Foxp3, but Foxp3⁺ T cells, are key to prevent autoimmunity.
