“This is a great opportunity to foster new collaborations and learn about the new discoveries in the field of innate immunity in the context of auto-inflammatory disorders and cancer,” said Dr Pepin.
In addition, Dr Pepin will also use this travel to give talks in Canada where she has been invited to discuss her research.
