Immunology in the city center

—The human immune system is diverse on both genotypic and phenotypic level. This diversity is crucial for a robust and adaptable immune response. But our immune systems also differ fundamentally depending on our sex, age, and the environmental influences to which we are exposed. Accordingly, immune diversity was at the core of this years event, celebrating the anual "Day of Immunology". More than 30 ImmunoSensation scientists were on hand in the Bonn city center, to discuss current immunological research with the public.
