Workshop Adaptive Immune Recognition in Infectious Disease and Cancer at Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden (Germany) 20 Apr 2026 – 24 Apr 2026 www.pks.mpg.de/de/aimmrec26

Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems Adaptive Immune Recognition in Infectious Disease and Cancer

Understanding how the immune system exerts its protective function against pathogens such as viruses and bacteria is fundamentally important for designing more rapid and targeted interventions. The need for accelerated development of preventative and therapeutic interventions was recently highlighted by the COVID pandemic and other epidemiological threats, whose frequency will increase as the human population grows. An impressive application of such understanding, namely stimulating the response of the immune system against cancer, has already become the pillar of anti-cancer immuno-therapies, which in the last few years have revolutionised cancer care. However, developing theoretical models that can guide immunological research by generating mechanistic insights into the behavior of the immune system is an extremely difficult challenge due to the different scales of immunological regulation interacting and feeding back into each other. Motivated by this need and challenge, as well as by the potential to bring about novel and critically important insights, this workshop on Adaptive immune recognition in infectious disease and cancer (AIMMREC) has been organised.
