Description

The CUSO satellite activity of the FORUM GRADUATE SCHOOLS INFECTION AND IMMUNITY BIOLOGIE 2019 consists of a half-day activity (June 7, 2019). CUSO co-organizes two special sessions dedicated to Ph.D students. Each session will start with 1 invited speaker: Prof. ( ) who will speak about ''virus and innate immunity", and Prof (to be defined) … who will speak about…. The plenary lecture will be followed by two oral presentations from PhD students selected from the abstract. In addition, for each session, a PhD student will chair the session in company of a more experienced scientist. A coffee break will occur between the two sessions. The forum is particularly appreciated by students who have the unique opportunity to present and discuss their findings to a wide audience.
