DESCRIPTION:I received my BSc in medical laboratory science (microbiology)
  in 2009 from Sudan University of Science and Technology (SUST)\, Khartoum
 \, Sudan. While working in SUST as a teaching assistant then as a lecturer
  after receiving an MSc in medical laboratory science\, I realised that I 
 had to go Europe or North America to be able to do cutting-edge research\,
  due to lack of resources. Having been inspired by great discoveries in im
 munology\, I've always known that I want to be an immunologist. In 2015\, 
 I was awarded a scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAA
 D) to do PhD at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI)\, Brauns
 chweig\, Germany. Since 2019\, after obtaining my PhD\, I've been working 
 as a postdoctoral research fellow at UCL's Institute of Immunity and Trans
 plantation\, London\, UK. In this webinar\, I'll summarise my journey as a
  black immunologist in academia through three different countries\, with a
  particular emphasis on the difficulties I faced in obtaining funding for 
 graduate studies.\n\nJoin the webinar live using this link - https://us06w
