Most of the students and young scientists are interested in his research and discussed scientific issues with him after the presentation.
During Prof. Lin’s visit, Prof. Qin also briefly introduced his group’s work on IRFs from grouper. Professor Lin shared their experiences on studying the IRFs in antiviral innate immune, and possible cooperation was discussed accordingly.
