Tonight we're with our team in Glasgow featuring speakers Marieke Pingen (@MariekePingen) and Alan Hayes.

Our immune system is highly complex and while it does a great job of protecting our bodies, sometimes it could do better. In this show, we will explore how viruses can hijack our immune system leaving us a little worse for wear.... and how we as researchers are learning to hijack immune cells for the better, helping them get to where they need to be!
