Antwerp TCR conference 2025
The Antwerp T-cell Repertoire (ATCR) meeting aims at bringing together experts, researchers and industry on the study of T-cells through novel high throughput sequencing technologies. These technologies have become critical for generating novel insight on the operation of the human immune system due to the central role of T-cells in infectious disease, vaccinology, oncology and auto immune disorders. These meetings are a continuation of the successful ATCR meeting from 2018, which had 100 attendees, from 2019, which had 80 attendees and from 2023, which had 140 attendees.
The 2025 edition will celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the AUDACIS consortium in the Antwerp region.
