We had the honor of welcoming Dr. Stefan H.E. Kaufmann (Director Emeritus of the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology in Germany) for a research discussion with members of our laboratory.
Dr. Kaufmann is a globally renowned immunologist and microbiologist, widely recognized as a leading expert in tuberculosis vaccine research. He has authored over 1,000 scientific publications and has consistently led pioneering studies on immune responses to infectious diseases, as well as the diagnosis and vaccine development for tuberculosis. He is also known as one of the top 0.1% scientific authors worldwide.
During the discussion, we presented our research on immune exhaustion and the application of immune checkpoint inhibitors in BLV infection and canine tumors, as well as studies on probiotics in livestock. Dr. Kaufmann posed a variety of insightful questions and comments, making the session a highly meaningful and stimulating experience for our lab members.
We sincerely thank Dr. Kaufmann for his time and insightful comments.
