Evolutionary Aspects of Allorecognition: From Intraspecific Conflicts to Links with Adaptive Immunity
July 6-7, 2015 in Münster
Together with ETT-Fellow Loriano Ballarin the MGSE organized a workshop on evolutionary aspects of allorecognition. The workshop comprised keynote lectures as well as discussion groups and addressed, e.g., the relation of allorecogntion with immunity, the origin and evolution of acquired immunity, and the role of chimerisms in shaping immune systems. A meeting report on the workshop has been published as letter to the editor in the Invertebrate Survival Journal.
