Skin resident T cells in human health and disease
Immunology IG Seminar
Dr. Clark attended Caltech as an undergraduate, where she was told to avoid a career in medicine. Despite this excellent advice, she completed the M.D./Ph.D. program at Harvard Medical School and now serves as the Shing-Yiu Yip and Cecilia M. Hepp Associate Professor of Dermatology at Harvard Medical School and the Director of the NIAMS P30 funded Human Skin Disease Resource Center. Her research focuses on the study of human T cell responses in skin and other peripheral tissues, including T cell function in healthy skin, impaired T cell migration and responses in skin cancer, and maladaptive T cell ac...

PD-1 Cancer Immunotherapy
NCI Center for Cancer Research Eminent Lecture Series
Gordon J. Freeman, PhD works in the Department of Medical Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and is Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Freeman earned his BA in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and PhD in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics from Harvard University. His research has identified the major pathways that control the immune response by inhibiting T cell activation (PD-1/PD-L1 and B7-2/CTLA-4) or stimulating T cell activation (B7-2/CD28).
In 2000, Dr. Freeman discovered PD-L1 and PD-L2, and showed they were ligands for PD-1, thus def...
