Within the Summer Courses of El Escorial organized by the Complutense University of Madrid, the one entitled "Trained immunity-based vaccines: the innate immune memory working towards  antiinfectious immunotherapy" was held in Madrid during 11-12th of July under the direction of Dr. Silvia Sánchez Ramón (Immunology, San Carlos Clinical Hospital, Madrid) and Dr. Laura Conejero Hall (INMUNOTEK), Scientific Secretariat. The course, sponsored by INMUNOTEK, has combined basic aspects of the mechanisms of action of trained immunity, with the clinical outcome in recurrent respiratory and urinary tract infections.

Frontiers in Immunology publishes the article "Human Oral Epithelial Cells Impair Bacteria-Mediated Maturation of Dendritic Cells and Render T Cells Unresponsive to Stimulation". This research reveals the immunomodulation exerted by the epithelial cells of the oral cavity either on cells of innate immunity stimulated with bacteria and/or on cells (T lymphocytes) of adaptive immunity. The research carried out in the School of Medicine of the Complutense University of Madrid has had the participation of INMUNOTEK.

The XXII Botanical Identification Seminar Day "Eliseo Subiza" was dedicated to the olive tree and took place in Toledo. This initiative of the Hospital Virgen del Valle (Toledo) has the collaboration of INMUNOTEK and is aimed to perform a botanical training of young allergists in main local allergenic plants. Through field trips with botanical experts and aerobiological lectures, each year is dedicated to special plant. The olive tree is a tree of great allergological interest as a cause of pollinosis in Spain since its pollen is very allergenic and affects a large number of patients.

The iGEM-Madrid team, sponsored by INMUNOTEK, has been awarded in the international competition held in Boston (iGEM 2018). The project "IoBT-Internet of Bio-Things" is an automatic system where engineering, communications and biosensors of the latest generation based on aptamers are integrated to detect allergen contamination in the air of the cities. The iGEM competition (International Genetically Engineered Machine) aims to encourage students and recent graduates to design bioengineering prototypes that provide imaginative solutions to real needs and therefore with commercial interest.

Allergy to mosquitoes and mites is common in certain geographic areas and both have important allergens such as tropomyosin that can lead to cross-reactions between them. A study has been published in Clinical Experimental Allergy which shows that the mosquito Aedes aegypti and the mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus share regions in their tropomyosin that justify the cross-response of antibodies and T cells.
