Laura Mackay has been selected as the 2024 ICIS-Luminex John R. Kettman Award for Excellence in Cytokine & Interferon Research in recognition for her outstanding work on memory T cell populations and the cytokines that control them. Professor Mackay’s discoveries have resulted in dramatic paradigm shifts and have contributed enormously to the T cell field, spawning a new focus on tissue immunity. Her accomplishments are shaping and redefining how we understand cellular immune responses and have driven a new field of T cell immunology. These accomplishments indeed far exceed her designated “mid-career” stage.
Professor Laura Mackay will give her ICIS-Luminex Award Presentation at at Cytokines 2024 Joint Meeting KAI 2024 in the Opening Session (13:00 – 14:40) on Sunday, October 20th at the COEX Conference Center in Seoul, Korea: “Regulation of tissue-specific immune-responses”.
