Our PhD student Sara Asif was selected to present her research about ILC2s in ovarian cancer in the Tumor Immunology Workshop at #CSI2024! Fantastic work Sara! 👏👏 Canadian Society for Immunology

Congratulations to CanNKC member Michele Ardolino !

Huge congratulations to CanNKC member @sarah_crome who was awarded a prestigious CSI Early Career Investigator Award! Well deserved 👏🏻

An inspiring talk from an incredible scientist! Dr. Takei has made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of innate lymphoid cells, congratulations 🎉
