"I am grateful to receive the BioLegend travel grant, which will support my participation in the upcoming AACR conference in San Diego. This opportunity will allow me to present my ongoing work on Merkel cell carcinoma, focused on the development of ALK.CAR-T cell therapy, and to engage with leading experts in cancer immunotherapy. Attending this meeting will be instrumental in sharing my project on a rare yet aggressive disease, fostering collaborations, and accelerating the translational impact of our findings."

"I’m incredibly grateful to BioLegend for awarding me this travel grant that will immensely help me in attending the International Congress of Mucosal Immunology (ICMI) meeting in Montreal where I will get to present my research findings on (altered) airway macrophage metabolism in the context of pulmonary fibrosis. This award enables me to travel internationally and engage with the leading research in mucosal immunology, translational and clinical research, and immunometabolism – in turn, helping with my professional and scientific advancement, along with fostering new collaborations."

"I am grateful to receive the BioLegend Customer Travel Award! This award will support my ability to attend a conference where I can share my work on how nociceptors interact with intestinal epithelial cells to promote type 2 immunity. I'm excited for the opportunity to gain insight from others and learn about their work as well."

Elizabeth Emanuel | Weill Cornell Medicine

"I’m incredibly grateful to BioLegend for supporting me with a travel award to attend the Gene Expression & Signalling in the Immune System conference at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory! I’ll be presenting my research on engineering CAR intracellular signaling domains to guide iPSC differentiation toward functional CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ CAR-T cells. I’m especially excited to engage with researchers working on regulation of gene expression, cell lineage development, and intracellular signaling, and to gain new insights into how signaling pathways shape immune cell fate and function. I look forward to bringing back fresh ideas and potential collaborations to advance my work on next-generation off-the-shelf cell therapies. Thank you again to BioLegend for making this opportunity possible!"
