Distinguished Immunologist Seminars
Yearly, Immunology Network trainees select a world-renowned immunologist through a nomination process for a two-day visit. The trainees organize and host the visit of the Distinguished Immunologist where they interact extensively with the speaker in both scientific and informal settings. The Distinguished Immunologist visit provides an excellent opportunity for networking and establishing collaborations for trainees and faculty.
