This May we were delighted to be back in-person for the the bi-annual CD1-MR1 conference, held in Gothenburg, Sweden. Senior Ph.D. students Dan, Owen, and Olivia met Daniel in Gothenburg, who was traveling from his sabbatical in Tanzania. This made the conference something of a mini reunion for the team, and was also the first international conference for each of the graduate students in attendance, where all three presented posters on their thesis work. Daniel also gave a talk entitled, “MAITs helping B cells – a potential target for mucosal vaccines?”
The conference was a rousing success, with fantastic presentations, networking, and plenty of food and unlimited coffee to fight off the jet lag. The Leung lab also got to explore downtown Gothenburg, visit small shops and cafes in the historic Haga district, and enjoy local delicacies (princess cake!). Overall, it was a fantastic trip with great science, food and many memories!
