Events
CCII is continuously hosting a variety of research events open to external scientists or the general public — from small, focused workshops on emerging topics in immunology or cancer to larger thematic conferences organized or sponsored by CCII. A conference hall in CCII’s new research building is providing ample space for public events.

Recent Events

On 12th November 2024, we celebrated the Opening Ceremony for the newly constructed Bristol Myers Squibb Building, serving as the hub for activities for the Center for Cancer Immunotherapy and Immunobiology (CCII). Please stay tuned for highlights of the event!

Upcoming Event

  • The 45th CCII Seminar “Harnessing Tumor Associated Macrophage Heterogeneity” (Florent Ginhoux)

    The 45th CCII Seminar “Harnessing Tumor Associated Macrophage Heterogeneity” (Florent Ginhoux)

    Dr. Florent Ginhoux Laboratory Director, Gustave Roussy(France)Senior Principal Investigator, SIgN, A*STAR (Singapore) Macrophages have a broad spectrum of immune-and non-immune-related tissue-supporting activities. The roots of this heterogeneity and versatility are only beginning to be understood. Here, we propose a conceptual framework for considering macrophage heterogeneity that organizes the factors shaping their identity within four cardinal points: (1) ontogeny and the view that adult macrophage populations comprise a defined mixture of cells that arise from either embryonic precursors or adult monocytes; (2) local factors unique to the niche of residence, evolving during development and aging; (3) inflammation status; and (4) the cumulative effect of time spent in a specific tissue that contributes to the resilient adaptation of macrophages to their dynamic environment. We will especially discuss how to transpose these concepts to cancer to better understand macrophage heterogeneity.

    ［External Use］ASHBi Workshop “AMED-MRC ASPIRE Engineering Biology Workshop – Towards reconstituting human kidney development and disease in vitro”

    On February 27, 2026, ASHBi will host the “AMED‑MRC ASPIRE Engineering Biology Workshop – Towards reconstituting human kidney development and disease in vitro” at the Nitori Hall, a multipurpose hall in the Center for Cancer Immunotherapy and Immunobiology (CCII). This joint workshop brings together leading researchers and young scientists from Japan and the UK to connect two rapidly advancing fields: kidney development and in vitro kidney and embryo models, with latests advances in synthetic and systems biology. By combining expertise in renal organogenesis and stem cell–based model systems with quantitative, programmable, and engineering-driven approaches, the workshop aims to explore new ways to analyse, control, and reconstruct kidney development and disease in vitro. The meeting is designed to foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and seed new collaborations that will drive conceptual and technological innovation at the interface of developmental biology and synthetic biology. Date：Friday, 27 February 2026, 10:00-18:00 Venue：Nitori Hall, Center for Cancer […]
