IIG Seminar - Heterologous Immunity: How Infection History affects Inflammatory Diseases
Our understanding of host-pathogen interaction is primarily derived from studying how the immune system protects us from a single pathogen. In contrast, it is largely unknown how this response alters the body ’ s ability to respond to a second infectious agent or the susceptibility to autoimmunity or cancer. Nicole Joller and her group investigate the long-term effects of pathogenic challenges on future responses. Currently, they are focusing on changes in the regulatory compartment of the adaptive immune system. The Joller laboratory employs in-vivo animal models, cellular assays and genome-scale approaches to investiga...

BME-SIG Lecture with Molly Schoichet
Drug discovery in cancer typically involves screening cells grown on 2-dimensional, hard plastic dishes; however, since human tissue is neither 2D nor plastic, this environment does not sufficiently emulate human disease. To overcome this limitation, we designed materials (i.e., hydrogels) for 3-dimensional cell culture with the goal of screening cells in an environment that mimics that of native tissue. With 3D cell culture, we gain an understanding of both cell invasion and cell viability, thereby providing insights that are inherently limited with traditional 2D cell culture. To achieve a suitable environment, we synthe...

NIH/FDA IIG Seminar - Enfu Hui
Dr. Hui is an associate professor at UCSD, leading a research laboratory on investigating the mechanisms of immune checkpoints, using cell-free membrane reconstitution, time-resolved live cell microscopy and cutting-edge cell biology approaches. Dr. Hui ’ s laboratory recently uncovered two novel aspects of PD-L1/PD-1 signaling. Intracellularly, Dr. Hui and his group showed that the T cell costimulatory receptor CD28 is a primary target of PD-1 associated phosphatases. Extracellularly, they discovered that PD-L1, a key weapon of tumor cells, can be neutralized in cis by PD-1 expressed on the same cells. Dr. Hui continues...

4th NCI Symposium on Cancer Health Disparities - Day 2
Cancer health disparities affect millions of people across the United States and globally. Disparities in cancer burden are evident by geography, race/ethnicity, genetic ancestry, immigrant status, culture, gender, sexual orientation (LGBTQ+), and socioeconomic class, among other factors. Cancer disparities are not only due to barriers in access to health care, but also due to cultural barriers, structural racism and environmental disadvantage, ancestry-related risk factors, persistent co-morbidities, and chronic stress exposure because of discrimination and social isolation. The challenge of reducing and eliminating healt...
