Michael E. DeBakey Lecture in the History of Medicine: A Laboratory of Humanitarianism: Military and Civilian Captivity during the First World War - May 2022
Scholarship on captivity in modern conflicts has mostly focused on its violent aspects and on the very real physical and mental suffering of prisoners of war. This presentation will instead show why the First World War provided a unique laboratory for experimenting with different kinds of humanitarian assistance to those experiencing prolonged incarceration and separation from their families. Building on Dr. Stibbe ’ s recent book, Civilian Internment during the First World War: A European and Global History, 1914-1920, his talk will examine three different but overlapping approaches to humanitarian assistance: relief wo...

Dynamic Organelle Shape and Function During Herpesvirus Infection
" The research of our laboratory is at the interface between virology and proteomics. We are studying cellular mechanisms used in defense against viruses, as well as mechanisms used by viruses to inhibit or hijack host cell processes. For these studies, we use multidisciplinary approaches, integrating molecular virology, microscopy, mass spectrometry-based proteomics, and bioinformatics. We have developed a series of proteomics-based approaches for characterizing cellular processes occurring during the progression of viral infections, and we are exploring several areas of interest.
