The MIM symposium was the first conference I attended as an undergrad. It is a joy to still be part of the Montreal immunology community and to see so many amazing friends and mentors at the symposium every year. Thank you @MIM_immuno for the abstract award!

🚨New post alert🚨
Although “turning on” a killer cell is very important to fight infections, “turning off” these cells is just as important. We need a system that kills only what it needs to kill. Here is one way our T cells “hit the breaks!”
