Parasites: How they ward off attack by our immune system
Neff Hall, Room 101
This is part of the College of Science's Honorary Invited Lecturer Series
Hosted by the Department of Biological Sciences
Join us as we welcome Dr. Michael Dustin, Professor of Molecular Immunology at the University of Oxford, as he discusses how immune cells defend us and how parasites ward off attack from our immune system.
Dr. Dustin has a B.A. in Biology from Boston University and a Ph.D. in Cell and Developmental Biology from Harvard University. He has led multiple research teams at the Washington University School of Medicine and at the New York University School of Medicine continuing work in cell immunology which has lead to many discoveries. While at the NYU School of Medicine, he was also the director of the NIH-funded Nanomedicine Center for Mechanobiology to further advance studies on the immunology synapse and the treatment of human diseases.
