If you're a researcher in the UK & like NK cells, we're hosting the annual UK NK Conference in Cardiff on Fri Jan 9th 2026. Our keynote speaker is Salim Khakoo, info on venue/registration/abstract submission here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/uk-nk-conf.... Spread the word, it's a friendly 1-day meeting!

Agree with this. We switched from MN to thermo and results were terrible. MN more expensive but worth it for BACs. If the DNA is decent then the transfection method is less important, but we always had good results with amaxa. Adenofection is even better if you put in the time to set it up.

Delighted to be hosting the next KIR workshop in Oxford next year. Please save these dates if you're interested. More details to follow.
