Since its installation on the Aeropole, the IMI has opened its doors to several technical institutes of the Hainaut Province to visit the laboratories and present ongoing research activities. This has namely led to applications for training courses within IMI research teams with the objective to achieve final study dissertations. Recently Hafsa Boukamir from the Provincial Institute for Physiotherapy and Nursing of Charleroi, has performed a 6 weeks training in Arnaud Marchant research group under the direction of Nathalie Vanderheyde to prepare her dissertation on the "Characterisation of the response of lymphocytes T CD4⁺ to CMV infection". This collaboration is all the more encouraging that the student has been awarded the price of the best dissertation of the year.
