ABSTRACT
T cells are key contributors to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration, yet identifying their targets and antigen specificities in human neurological disease remains a major challenge. Rapid advances in neuroimmunology, including single-cell multiomics, TCR repertoire sequencing, and antigen-discovery platforms, have begun to reshape our understanding of T cell biology in the CNS. Building on the success of TCB2024 and TCB2025, which each convened over 200 national and international attendees, the T Cells in the Brain series has established itself as the premier forum for integrating T cell biology with human neurodegeneration. These meetings generated new multi-institutional collaborations, fostered technology exchange among immunologists, neuropathologists, T cell engineers, and computational biologists, and supported several emerging joint grant applications and shared datasets. “T Cells in the Brain (TCB2027): Decoding T Cell Targets in Neurodegeneration” will advance this momentum by consolidating recent progress and promoting interdisciplinary discussion toward precision T-cell-based therapies. TCB remains committed to active efforts to engage trainees, and junior researchers. By uniting interdisciplinary expertise and strengthening collaborative networks, TCB2027 aims to accelerate the development of effective T cell-based interventions for neurodegenerative disorders.document fetched 2026-09-13 02:46
