Affinity Group

Co-chaired by Dr. Pergam and Dr. Liu, the affinity group “Infectious Diseases in the Immunocompromised Host” is a new speaking series on a topic of the speaker’s choice, related to immunocompromised hosts. The lectures are typically 30 minutes, followed by a 30 minute Q&A. This speaking series is an informal event, meant to foster novel collaborations, present new research ideas and to enhance understanding within our niche research community.
