This event marks a significant milestone in immunology\, reflecting on past achievements and exploring future directions.\r\n\r\nPlease note: The symposium is now fully booked and registration is closed. If you would still like to attend\, you are welcome to join our waiting list by completing the registration form via the “Join Waiting List” link. We will notify you if a spot becomes available.Don'\;t miss this opportunity to connect with leading experts in the field. The symposium will be free of charge\, but it is compulsory to register.\r\n\r\nJoin Waiting List\nhttps://survey.ki.se/Survey/42574\r\n\r\nA groundbreaking discovery&\;nbsp\;In 1975\, researchers at Karolinska Institutet\, led by Rolf Kiessling\, Eva Klein\, and Hans Wigzell\, made a groundbreaking discovery that would change the landscape of immunology – the Natural Killer (NK) cell. This milestone marked the beginning of a new era in understanding how the immune system combats cancer and viral infections. Now\, fifty years later\, we celebrate this achievement with a one-day symposium on October 14\, 2025\, at Karolinska Institutet.History\, present and future&\;nbsp\;The symposium aims to reflect on the historical journey of NK cell research while highlighting current breakthroughs and future directions in this field. Specifically\, the first half of the symposium will focus on the history of NK cells\, tracing their discovery and the key milestones that have shaped our understanding of their role in the immune system.&\;nbsp\;The second half will concentrate on where NK cell research stands today in terms of clinical application\, exploring how recent advancements in NK cell-based therapies are transforming cancer treatment and patient care\, with a particular emphasis on their potential to revolutionize the management of various malignancies.&\;nbsp\;This event is strategically timed to coincide with the 50th annual meeting of the Scandinavian Society for Immunology (SSI)\, which will take place in Stockholm from October 15 to 17\, 2025.&\;nbsp\;For questions\, please contact Carin Dahlberg (Carin.Dahlberg@ki.se).\r\n\r\nPreliminary Scientific program\nTuesday Oct 14:\n\n\n08.30-09.00\nRegistration\n\n09:00-09:10\nWelcome address and information\nOrganizing committee\n\n09:10-09:30\nThe pre-NK cell era \nHans Wigzell\n\n09:35-10:00\nDiscovery of NK cells – spontaneous cytotoxicity and a unique cell\nRolf Kiessling\n\n10:05-10:30\nNK cell-target cell recognition – NK cell recognition of “missing self” \nKlas Kärre\n\n10:35-11:00\nCoffee break\n\n11:00-11:25\nIdentification of NK cell inhibitory receptors \nWayne Yokoyama\, Washington University\n\n11:30-12:00 \nFive decades of NK cell research\nLewis Lanier\, University of California San Francisco\n\n13:00-13:25\nWhat makes NK cells special?
