Sensing from within: how the immune system discriminates friend from foe

NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series The Fitzgerald lab is focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms controlling the inflammatory response. We are interested in determining how the immune system discriminates between pathogens, resident microflora and host molecules to both protect the host from infection and avoid damaging inflammatory diseases. We employ multifaceted approaches including immunology, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics to understand these mechanisms.For more information go tohttps://oir.nih.gov/wals/2017-2018/Air date: 4/25/2018 3:00:00 PM
