CC Grand Rounds: Ethics Rounds: Capacity to Consent: What is it? Who has it?
Ethical clinical care and ethical clinical research depend on obtaining appropriate informed consent. However, obtaining consent in practice raises a number of challenges. What is required to give consent for clinical care, what is required to give consent for research, and how do they differ? Doe s an underlying cognitive impairment or psychiatric condition undermine the capacity to consent?
Please join us to discuss these and other challenges clinicians face when obtaining informed consent.

Defining mechanisms of pathogenesis in cutaneous leishmaniasis to develop new approaches to therapy
IIG Seminar
Phil Scott received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1980 where he studied immunoregulatory mechanisms in experimental cutaneous leishmaniasis, and from there went to Dr. Alan Sher ’ s laboratory at NIH where he defined the role of CD4+ Th1 and Th2 cells in controlling leishmaniasis. He left NIH in 1989 to return to Penn, and rose through the ranks to become Professor of Immunology in 1995. During his time at Penn he served for 12 years as Chair of the Department of Pathobiology in the School of Veterinary Medicine, and is currently Vice Dean for Research& Academic Resources. Dr. Scott ’ s c...

2018 Kinyoun Lecture - Opioids: Epidemic of our time and impact on infectious disease
Robert R. Redfield, M.D., director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), will deliver the 2018 Joseph J. Kinyoun Memorial Lecture on the intersection between the national opioid crisis and the management of infectious diseases.
Titled, “ Opioids: Epidemic of Our Time and Impact on Infectious Disease, ” Dr. Redfield ’ s talk will explore the impacts of the unprecedented use of opioids in the United States on the management of infectious diseases. While overdose remains the leading cause of death among people who use opioids, this population is also disproportionately affected by viral hepatitis, bac...

Molecular programs defining tumor-specific T cell dysfunction and therapeutic reprogrammability
Immunology Interest Group
T cell responses to cancers differ depending on the nature of the target antigen: tumor antigens that are self-proteins are generally weakly immunogenic due to pre-existing self-tolerance, whereas tumor antigens that are tumor-specific (e.g. mutated proteins) are potentially highly immunogenic because the immune system has not been exposed to these antigens. We recently demonstrated that tumor-specific T cells differentiate to a non-responsive state following initial encounter with tumor antigen, even before the emergence of a pathologically-defined tumor. While this state is initially reversible,...

Type III interferon is a critical regulator of innate antifungal immunity
Immunology Interest Group
Amariliz Rivera received her B.S from the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez campus and her PhD from Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. She did her postdoctoral training at MSKCC under the mentorship of Eric Pamer where she began the abiding theme of her research-achieving a better understanding of how the immune system fights fungal infections. After her training, she moved to Rutgers where she is Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics and member of the Center of Immunity and Inflammation. Her work through the years has delineated fungus-specific CD4 T cell responses and mon...

Standing on the shoulders of mice: adventures in human immunology
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
While inbred mice have been a very powerful model for analyzing the immune system, recent advances, both technological and conceptual, have begun to make direct studies of the human immune system possible. This is vitally important from a translational perspective, as mouse models of disease have not been as productive as hoped for in producing “ actionable intelligence ” with which to diagnose and treat patients. Another benefit is that human work is almost unexplored territory for immunologists in our present time, where asking basic questions often results in unexpec...
