Photo of the week: Celebrate April Day of Immunology!

29 April 2016 Day of Immunology (DoI) at GTAC. Many schools participated in the day, where students get hands-on experience with lab techniques. Monash Central Clinical School PhD students were volunteer demonstrators. Mahtab Parvaresh (right) demonstrates correct technique for multi-channel pipetting.
 
This year's DoI program of activities is extensive, including: Immunology art exhibitions (kicked off 6 April), discovery tours, secondary school workshops, vaccination cafĂ© and public lecture. From our Department of Immunology and Pathology the following people have volunteered their time to be a part of the organizing committee for these events: Dimitra Zotos, Jodie Abramovitch, Katharine Goodall, Maria Demaria and Angela Nguyen. Our generous volunteer demonstrators this year are PhD students Mahtab Parvaresh, Angela Nguyen and Timothy Gottschalk, and from Clayton, Dr Maria Demaria.
