As an essential role of our collaboration with Anhui Agriculture University in different animal vaccines, Prof. Martin, Prof. Lisha Zha and the directors of Anhui University have organized an immunology summer-school in October 2019 in China. The summer-school included a number of important local and international speakers: From our lab; Prof. Martin Bachmann, Dr. Monique Vogel, Dr. Mona Mohsen and Xinyue Chang (PhD student), Prof. Thomas Kundig (University of Zurich), Prof. Daniel Speiser (University of Lausanne), Dr. Gary Gennings (HypoPet AG), Dr. Aadil El-Turabi (University of Oxford), Dr. Ariane Gomes and Dr. Joshua Blight (Imperial College London).
