Our graduate students and faculty attended the live stream of the 2^nd Annual Forsyth Symposium, organized by the Forsyth Institute - a Harvard School of Dental Medicine affiliate. The symposium featured lectures by leading researchers in the field of immunology, who presented their latest findings on how microorganisms alter immune responses. UNG students and researchers will receive a certificate of attendance from the Forsyth Institute. This is a result of the collaboration between the UNG Postgraduate Dental Program and the Forsyth Institute, that have been working jointly since 2001.
