May 2025

In May 2025, members of the Tal Research Group traveled to Honolulu, Hawai'i to participate in the AAI2025 Annual Meeting, one of the premier gatherings in the field of immunology. The conference provided an exciting opportunity for the team to present their latest research on immune responses to chronic infections and engage with leading experts across diverse immunological subfields. From cutting-edge talks on mucosal immunity and sex-based immune differences to hands-on workshops in systems immunology, the group gained valuable insights that will inform and expand their ongoing work. Beyond the scientific sessions, the team fostered meaningful connections with fellow researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals, sparking collaborations and conversations that will continue to shape their research trajectory. The trip was both intellectually enriching and deeply energizing for the lab, marking a memorable milestone in their mission to advance understanding of immune dynamics in chronic disease.
