2024 Kuan-Teh Jeang Memorial Lecture: The broad impact of innate immune receptors in viral infection, cancer and autoimmunity

Jenny Pan-Yun Ting is a Taiwanese-American immunologist and microbiologist at University of North Carolina. She is a highly cited researcher who studies the role of NLR genes in regulating inflammation and how nanoparticles and microparticles can be used as vaccine adjuvants. In memory of Kuan-Teh Jeang, the lecture will discuss the roles of multiple innate immune receptors in viral infection in mouse models and patients. The seminar will also describe the unexpected intrinsic roles of these receptors in adaptive T and B lymphocytes. The latter adects both cancer and autoimmunity, with implications for immunotherapeutics.Individuals with disabilities who need reasonable accommodation to participate in this event should contact the WALS Office at walsoffice@od.nih.govFor more information go tohttps://oir.nih.gov/Air date: 6/3/2024 2:00:00 PM
