On Saturday May 11th 2019, ImmunoSensation2 Scientists took time to share interesting, current research with the public at Bonn Marktplatz to celebrate the Day of Immunology. This year, the scientists coverd topics circeling lung- and liver disease. To support the experience, ImmunoSensation2 presented oversized organ models of lung and liver for interested visitors to walk through. A lung capacity machine was used to demonstrate how the lung capacity can vary.

We are looking forward to welcome the public again on the market place next spring, to celebrate the annual Day of Immunology together with you.
