On the 12th of December, members of the Draper Lab travelled to The Pirbright Institute, Surrey, to attend the biannual joint Oxford-Pirbright B cell meeting day. Alongside talks and poster presentations, attendees were able to take part in one of three roundtable discussions on exciting new approaches being leveraged by researchers at both organisations for B cell and antibody analyses: HT-SPR, spatial transcriptomics, and single cell BCR sequencing.
Particular shout outs to Fran Donnellan (chair of the meeting organising committee), Ana Rodrigues (organising committee) and Anna Huhn (roundtable discussion facilitator) for their contributions to making the event a success. Our thanks to the rest of the organising committee and to our colleagues at Pirbright for hosting!
The next B cell meeting will be in Spring/Summer 2026 in Oxford. If you would like to receive updates and notification relating to these events, please contact either Fran (francesca.donnellan@paediatrics.ox.ac.uk) or Ana (ana.rodrigues@paediatrics.ox.ac.uk) to be added to the B cell meeting mailing list.
