Prof. Dr. Christian Kurts, Professor of Experimental Immunology at the University of Bonn, has been appointed honorary professor at the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Melbourne. With this appointment, Australia's leading university acknowledges the achievements in establishing a scientific network between Melbourne and Bonn. Prof. Kurts is a recipient of the Gottfried-Wilhelm-Leibniz-Prize, director of the Institute of Experimental Immunology at the University Hospital Bonn and member of the cluster of Excellence ImmunoSensation.
"The appointment as honorary professor is a great honor for me," says Prof. Kurts.
