Microbiome control of host immunity
Dr. Yasmine Belkaid is a distinguished Investigator at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institute of Health (Bethesda). Following a postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institute of health (Bethesda) on immune regulation during infection, she started her research program at the Children’s Hospital Research Foundation in Cincinnati.
Shaping of anti-tumor immunity in the tumor microenvironment
Since 2005, the studies of Jérôme Galon, Franck Pagès, and Wolf H. Fridman have changed the paradigm of host/cancer interactions by demonstrating that the “immune contexture”, considering the functionality, the location, and the density of the immune infiltrate in colorectal tumors, is the major prognostic factor for human cancers.
Metabolic control of T cell differentiation during immune responses to cancer
The Delgoffe Lab studies the metabolic contributions to T cell fate and function. The activation, expansion, and differentiation of T cells requires the interpretation of many complex signals including those from the antigen receptor, costimulatory and coinhibitory molecules, and cytokines.
The unusual COVID-19 pandemic: the African story
In the first instalment of the International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) webinar series in collaboration with Immunopaedia and Frontiers Immunology, we were treated with a fascinating talk by Dr Kondwani Jambo titled – The unusual COVID-19 pandemic: the African story.
Immune responses to SARS-CoV-2
