Allergy symposium “Beyond barriers and borders” (July 4, 2019, Organisation: Prof. P. Schmid-Grendelmeier) On July 4, 2019 an international Allergy Symposium was organized to reflect the wide range of allergic diseases and related research on the occasion of the 60th birthday of the organizer. The meeting was held in the fully occupied Great Auditorium Ost and offered a highly attractive program, presented by a faculty from very renowned local, European and overseas speakers. The latest insights in atopic dermatitis, food allergy and drug hypersensitivity were presented by some of the leading experts in the area, such as Prof. T. Bieber (Germany), Prof. M. Castells (USA), Prof. G. Du Toit (UK), Prof. R. Lehloenya (South Africa) and Prof. D. Mavura (Tanzania). Co-chaired by Prof. B.
Ballmer-Weber and PD Dr. T. Harr, an exciting blend between state-of-the-art research, interdisciplinary cooperations at the UZH and signs of friendship over the years were presented, covering the whole range from molecular views to global aspects. The final highlight of the event was the presentation by Dr. M. Oeggerli, who allowed a dive into the fine art of electron microscopy of various allergens (www.micronaut.ch). Enriched by an original African buffet (www.african-queen.ch), the team enjoyed the presence of and exchange with the large community of specialists, referring physicians and former trainees of the Allergy unit.
