IIG Seminar - A new molecular regulatory pathway revealed by studying a human immunodysregulatory disorder
Our laboratory aims to elucidate molecular mechanisms regulating the human immune system and delineate how their derangements cause disease. As will be exemplified in the talk, our approach is to study patients with rare and poorly characterized inherited inborn errors of immunity who are followed at the NIH Clinical Center. By carefully investigating these “ experiments of nature ” we can draw inferences about molecular functions based on patient phenotypes. Our program broadly integrates the patients ’ clinical evaluations, assessments of their immune function, genetic and biochemical analyses to gain insights into...

Immunological mechanisms of mRNA vaccines- NIH FDA COVID-19 SIG Lecture Series
The production of antibodies (Abs) with high affinity and pathogen neutralization potential is crucial for preventing and fighting pathogen infection. To produce such Abs, na ï ve B cells are activated in response to cognate antigen and subsequently undergo rounds of somatic hypermutation and selection in germinal centers, specialized microanatomical sites in secondary lymphoid organs. This process of affinity maturation is tightly regulated by a specialized subset of CD4 T cells named T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. Our laboratory is interested in dissecting the complex biology of Tfh cells. Understanding (1) how Tfh di...

IIG Seminar - Chronic psychological stress and macrophage inflammation in atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease of the arteries that initiates through normal protective functions of the innate immune system, but goes awry through the failure to resolve macrophage inflammation in the arterial plaques. Dr. Fisher ’ s laboratory has pioneered multiple mouse models in which to study inflammation resolution in atherosclerosis. He has collaborated with a number of colleagues to apply these models to study mechanisms by which certain conditions, such as diabetes, kidney disease, and obesity, increase cardiovascular risk through their interference with plaque macrophage infla...

NIH Director's Seminar Series - Phthalate exposure and preterm birth: Findings from a pooled study of 16 US cohorts
Phthalates diesters are found ubiquitously in personal care products and plastics, and human exposure is widespread. Exposure in pregnancy is of particular concern due to the endocrine activity and suspected reproductive toxicity of these compounds. The Pooled Phthalate and Preterm Birth Study is a collaboration between 16 US cohorts established to better understand the relationship between exposure to phthalates in pregnancy and preterm birth. Under this study, we investigated three aims. First, we examined the association between prenatal phthalate exposure and preterm birth, as well as the potential benefits of hypothet...
