BME-SIG Lecture: Navigating Academia to Biotech CEO
Dr. Laura Niklason is an Anesthesiologist, critical care physician, and a biomedical engineer. Supported by the NIH Medical Scientist Training Program from 1983 – 1988, she obtained her PhD in Biophysics in 1988 and then her MD in 1991. After completing clinical training, she became involved in the nascent field of tissue engineering/regenerative medicine in the mid-1990 ’ s. Niklason was fortunate to gain support for her research from the NIH, as well as several private foundations and the Defense Department, spanning from 1995 through 2022. Niklason ’ s work constantly sought to fuse concepts in physical sciences a...

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...

IIG Seminar - Gwendalyn Randolph
Dr. Randolph ’ s research integrates the study of monocytes, monocyte-derived cells, and dendritic cells with vascular and lymphatic vessel biology. Dr. Randolph and her team have pioneered assays to study migration of these immune cells to lymph nodes in various tissues, and their work on tracking monocytes has led to advances in understanding the relationship of monocytes to the dendritic cell system in vivo. This work has led to identification of a core set of genes that define macrophages, while revealing striking tissue-specific profiles for resident macrophages in different organs. Her group has also developed assa...

IIG Seminar - Pathogenic communications between the mouth and gut
Dr. Kamada ’ s laboratory is interested in understanding how the gut microbiota and host immunity interact in gastrointestinal health and disease. Specifically, they have focused on the mechanisms by which certain pathogenic members of commensal bacteria promote chronic intestinal inflammation that leads to the development of inflammatory bowel disease. Dr. Kamada and his group are investigating how potentially pathogenic members of commensal bacteria accumulate the gut and activate host immune cells. Likewise, Dr. Kamada is studying how beneficial commensal bacteria compete with these pathogenic bacteria and regulate in...

NIH – FDA COVID SIG Lecture with Donna Farber, Ph.D.
Donna Farber, Ph.D., is the George H. Humphreys, II Professor of Surgical Sciences (in Surgery), Chief, Division of Surgical Sciences and Professor of Microbiology& Immunology at Columbia University. from the speaker: " Research in the laboratory is focused on immunological memory and specifically on memory T cells as essential mediators of protective immunity. While it was previously thought that memory T cells mediate their protective responses through rapid migration and surveillance through tissues, it is now become clear that localization and establishment of non-circulating memory T cells resident in tissue sites is ...

NIH – FDA COVID SIG Lecture with Michael Diamond, WUSTL
Michael S. Diamond, MD, PhD, is the Herbert S. Gasser Professor, Departments of Medicine, Molecular Microbiology, Pathology& Immunology, WUSTL. Diamond ’ s laboratory studies the molecular basis of disease of globally emerging RNA viruses, and focuses on the interface between pathogenesis and host immunity. He identified many of the key innate and adaptive immune system components that define protection against flaviviruses, and the viral genes that antagonize this response. His laboratory made a seminal discovery by identifying a novel pathogen-associated molecular pattern (lack of 2 ′ -O methylation on the 5 ′ vira...
