Researchers investigate the impact on the immune system.
The second German-Argentinean Workshop, which took place together with the TWINCORE-Symposium, was a complete success for our German-Argentinean cooperation. The beginning of this international collaboration was a meeting in November 2012 in Buenos Aires. The second workshop in September was the motive for the return visit of an Argentinean science delegation. This meeting also was a successful platform for new contacts and collaborations – for example a new cooperation between the Argentinean and German societies for immunology. Our scientists are looking forward to a continuation of this intercontinental scientific liaison – the next meeting will be in Argentina in November 2013.
