🎉 Huge congratulations to @immunologyking.bsky.social & @maurogaya.bsky.social for an outstanding @embo.org workshop: adaptive immunity in barrier tissues Brilliant science, inspiring discussions, and friendships that make it one of the best!

Great analogy to illustrate the question @carlanowosad.bsky.social is pursuing on her lab: how GC are form and how GC cells find their way to their specific locations #embo workshop Basel #immunalogy
