  • T cell populations are heterogeneous. Modern biomedical techniques allow insights into T cell diversity with unprecedented granularity, elucidating fine differences in cellular phenotypes, metabolic rewiring or receptor clonotype. Such fine-mapping may, on the one hand, question the fidelity of conventional subtypes of T cells. On the other hand, it may be argued that categorization of T cells into coarse, conventional “bins” still proves to be useful and allows for reproducible predictions of basic biological processes or successful immunotherapies. Modern techniques may even be criticized for producing big data that merely self-fulfill prophecies and visualize artificial heterogeneity that is of no functional relevance. In this workshop, leaders in the field of T cell research will report on different flavors of T cell diversity – and thereby try to separate facts from fiction.
