Current Biology Seminar – Dr. Akiko Iwasaki
February 22, 2022 - 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
The Basic Sciences Division hosts a weekly Current Biology Seminar series where leading-edge researchers are invited from around the world to share their latest scientific breakthroughs. Lectures are typically every Tuesday and are held as virtual events.
Speaker
Akiko Iwasaki, Ph.D.
Yale School of Medicine
Howard Hughes Medical Institute
Department of Immunobiology
The Iwasaki Lab’s goal is to understand how immunity is initiated and maintained at the mucosal surfaces, particularly by the dendritic cells (DCs), through natural portals of entry for pathogens that are of significant health concerns in the world. The lab focus on understanding how viruses are recognized (innate immunity) and how that information is used to generate protective adaptive immunity. We study immune responses to herpes simplex viruses in the genital tract and influenza infection in the lung.
Seminar Title: Immune responses to SARS-CoV-2
