This Journal Club is intended for researchers and students interested in immunology and vaccine research to discuss relevant scientific literature within the VACCIM community. People outside of VACCIM are also warmly welcomed to join the Journal Club. There’s a possibility for students to get credits.
In practical terms, one pre-determined participant will decide an immunology/vaccine-related article for others to read. The article can be either a review or a research article. During the event, the pre-determined person gives a short presentation to guide the discussions. The discussions can be critical, praising or method-related, in other words, scientific and appropriate.
The Journal Club is mainly held in person, but remote participation can be arranged e.g. upon illness.
