Students and interns from the Centre de recherche de l'Hôpital Maisonneuve-Rosemont (CRHMR) distinguished themselves during the 2020 edition of the annual meeting of Immunology Montreal (MIM) symposium, which was held virtually on November 16. In fact, two students and a postdoctoral fellow collected prizes at the event.
