För 10 år sedan etablerade de första gruppledarna sin forskning vid Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden, MIMS. Detta firas med ett symposium där internationella talare presenterar nya rön om biologin bakom infektionssjukdomar och deras bekämpning.
Vi blickar också tillbaka på 10 års forskning vid MIMS under ledning av professor Bernt Eric Uhlin, och flera nyrekryterade gruppledare ger inblickar i sina forskningsplaner.
Välkommen!
