So far, there are more than 2.5 million people have been infected by the virus in the world and approximately 170,000 people have died from the infection. For the safety of our speakers and other participants, the Organising Committee has decided to postpone the NZBCS-2020 to next year. As a result, the conference will be renamed as the Second New Zealand Breast Cancer Symposium in 2021 (NZBCS-2021), which will be held in Auckland, New Zealand from 13-15th November 2021. More details will be announced late this year.

Dr. Yin is presently a principal investigator at the institute for cardiovascular prevention (IPEK) at the University Clinic of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) in Germany. His current research goal is to identify the interaction of peripheral vascular diseases and brain neurodegenerative diseases, i.e. atherosclerosis and Alzheimer´s Disease. In addition, Changjun is interested in the possibility that

atherosclerosis is an autoimmune disease.

Changjun obtained his Bachelor and Master Degrees in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, China in 2007 and 2009, respectively. He moved to the Institute for Vascular Medicine at the University Hospital of the Friedrich-Schiller-University and the Leibniz Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) - in Jena, Germany to pursue his Ph.D. degree. Changjun obtained his Ph.D. degree in immunology in 2013. He subsequently moved to the IPEK for postdoctoral training. In 2015, Changjun obtained a research grant from the German Research Foundation (DFG) to study brain immune injury in aged hyperlipidemic mice. Changjun led an international research collaboration to demonstrate that Apolipoprotein E directly interacts with the classical complement cascade-initiating molecule C1q and that this interaction participates in several clinically significant diseases, i.e. atherosclerosis and Alzheimer´s Disease.
