Stressed out: a novel approach to cancer immunotherapy
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture
Inaugural William Paul Lecture
Dr. Glimcher is president and CEO of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and a former dean of Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. Prior to her work at Cornell, Dr. Glimcher was a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, where she headed one of the top immunology programs in the world. As an immunologist, her primary research interests are elucidating the molecular pathways that regulate the immune system, critical for both the development of protective immunity and for the pathophysiologic immune responses underlying autoimmune...

Immunity Enabled by Sibling Cells that Feast and Fast
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
It has become increasingly clear that sustaining clonal regeneration of a lymphocyte during the immune response requires a B cell or a T cell to renew itself while also producing its differentiated cellular progeny (plasma cells or effector cells). I will present data showing that activated lymphocytes immediately competent to differentiate will divide to yield sibling cells with unequal metabolic behaviors. One cell undergoes terminal differentiation driven by an anabolic constellation of aerobic glycolysis, mitochondrial stasis, and ROS production. Conversely, its sibling cell und...

Going rogue: Aire and the enforcement of immune tolerance
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
The promiscuous expression of tissue-restricted antigens in the thymus, driven in part by Autoimmune Regulator (Aire), is critical for the protection of peripheral tissues from autoimmune attack. Aire-dependent processes are thought to promote both clonal deletion and the development of Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells, suggesting that autoimmunity associated with Aire deficiency results from two failed tolerance mechanisms. Here, examination of autoimmune lesions in Aire-/- mice revealed an unexpected third possibility. We found that the predominant conventional T cell clonotypes i...

Evolution of Adaptive Immunity: ‘Double-duty’ Dendritic Cells in Cold-blooded Vertebrates
Immunology Interest Group
Martin Flajnik earned his Ph.D. at the University of Rochester (NY) under Nicholas Cohen (of comparative- and psychoneuro-immunology fame) and then did his postdoc at the Basel Institute for Immunology under the noted amphibian immunologist Louis Du Pasquier. Flajnik’s first faculty position was at the University of Miami (1988-’98) and he has toiled at The University of Maryland Baltimore ever since. His research has always centered on the evolution of adaptive immunity in the vertebrates and have included studies of: thymic education; MHC biochemistry and genetics; emergence and function of...
