About
This joint workshop is jointly organized by the Immunology Frontier Research Center (WPI-IFReC), Osaka University and ImmunoSensation2, the University of Bonn. The two institutes, which lead immunology research in Japan and Germany, respectively, signed an academic exchange agreement in November 2018, and have been planning to hold joint international symposia and international immunology schools. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed these events, we are now finally able to hold this online workshop simultaneously both in Japan and Germany.
This workshop will provide an opportunity to showcase the latest research in immunology in both countries. We look forward to your active participation.
