Please save the date for the 14th International CD1-MR1 Workshop to be held in Portland, Oregon at Oregon Health & Science University September 9-12, 2025. 

The meeting will focus on immunity mediated through CD1 and MR1-reactive T cells and related subsets of innate T cells.  Scientific presentations and discussion will span the latest research from CD1 and MR1 antigen presenting molecules, the fundamental biology of T cells, such as the antigens they recognize, to their development, and diverse functions in health and disease. This year we offer an expanded four-day program to explore new therapeutic strategies in cancer and autoimmunity that target this axis on September 12, so we recommend travelling home on September 13th or later to ensure you can enjoy all the program has to offer. The field has seen remarkable progress in both fundamental and translational aspects in the past few years, and we look forward to an exciting meeting! The venue is located amidst the cultural amenities of downtown Portland at a hilltop location, which is accessible by tram or shuttle bus and has views of the Cascade Mountains. 

We acknowledge that some may have concerns regarding travel to the US. Recent large scale international meetings have been recently held without difficulties, and a recent  Gorden Conference with similar international scope and size, was held without difficulties and was seen by participants as successful.  We firmly believe that meeting together in person CD1-MR1 in Portland will move the science forward. By coming together, we can support science and recognize and celebrate our collective achievements in a positive and meaningful way.

If you require a letter of program acceptance or participation confirmation to support your travel, please reach out to the Conference Organizers directly to assist.
