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.I...

NIH Director's Seminar Series: Harnessing Mechanistic Insights into microRNA Function for Cancer Therapy
As a class of small non-coding RNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs) function as master gene regulators. My laboratory studies how miRNAs themselves are regulated and their applications in cancer treatment. Despite the success of using miRNAs including their isoforms (isomiRs) as disease biomarkers, development of miRNA-based cancer treatments was somewhat lagging behind mainly due to the difficulty in identifying tumor-driver miRNA variations. In this talk, I will discuss our endeavor in addressing this challenge by investigating the mechanisms of miRNA biogenesis and function. I will demonstrate how the addition of sequences at their...

IOTN Capstone Meeting
One of the original Blue Ribbon Panel Recommendations was for NCI to create a translational science network devoted exclusively to immunotherapy. To achieve these goals, the Immuno-Oncology Translational Network (IOTN) was established to foster collaborative team science approaches to accelerate the discovery of new immune targets and evaluate novel immune-based therapies and combination approaches that eliminate established cancers in adults or to prevent cancers before they occur.This IOTN Capstone Meeting will highlight scientific accomplishments and inter-Network collaborations across the IOTN. The IOTN will be ending ...

NIH ProtIG seminar: Immunopeptidomics Frontier: Practical Deployments Today, Revolutionary Visions Tomorrow
The science that investigates the ensembles of all peptides associated with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules is termed " immunopeptidomics " and is typically driven by mass spectrometry (MS) technologies. Recent advances in MS technologies, neoantigen discovery, and cancer immunotherapy have catalyzed the launch of the Human Immunopeptidome Project with the goal of providing a complete map of the human immunopeptidome and making the technology so robust that it will be available in every clinic. In this presentation, I will describe our latest progress in the field for the discovery of tumor-specific antigens and vi...

IIG Seminar - IL-27: King of Cytokines
Cytokines are not inherently pro- or anti-inflammatory and the Hunter laboratory is interested in how these factors govern the development of immunity to infection but can also be involved in the prevention of immune hyperactivity. The presentation will cover the immunobiology of the cytokine IL-27, its ability to limit infection-induced pathological T cell and monocyte responses and how this pathway can be targeted as a cancer therapy. The knowledge of the biology of IL-27 can also be used to inform strategies to enhance mRNA vaccination.Air date: 4/3/2024 4:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)
