Transcriptional Regulation of Neuroinflammation

NCI's Center for Cancer Research (CCR) Grand Rounds Dr. Lazarevic received her B.Sc. Microbiology degree from the University of Nottingham (UK) and Ph.D. degree in Molecular Virology and Microbiology from the University of Pittsburgh. Following her post-doctoral training in the laboratory of Dr. Laurie Glimcher at Harvard School of Public Health, Dr. Lazarevic was recruited as a tenure-track investigator in the Experimental Immunology Branch, CCR. Her laboratory is interested in how transcription factors regulate differentiation and effector function of CD4+ T helper (Th) cells in the context of autoimmune disorders with emphasis on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, a model for multiple sclerosis. Her research is focused on understanding the molecular basis for functional plasticity of CD4+ Th cells and identifying CD4+ T cell-specific, pathogenicity-associated genes required for initiation and propagation of neuroinflammation.Air date: 11/17/2017 12:00:00 PM
