Lecture series Infection & Immunity: "SYSTEMS IMMUNOLOGY AND METABOLIC CONTROL OF ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY"- Prof Hongbo Chi

30/01/2020 11:00 to 30/01/2020 14:00 (Europe/Luxembourg)

Esch-sur-alzette, Luxembourg

Speaker

Prof Hongbo Chi is Professor in the Immunology Department, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, USA.

ABSTRACT

Coordination of cell metabolic programs with fate decisions is a fundamental determinant of immune responses. Emerging evidence highlights that the interplay between immune signaling and metabolic programming orchestrates the activation and differentiation of T cells that further impact the outcome of adaptive immunity. The seminar discussion will include our recent findings regarding how mTOR and nutrient signaling pathways shape T cell metabolism and immune responses, and the application of systems immunology approaches to reconstruct metabolic signaling circuits and identify new therapeutic targets (Karmaus, Nature 565:101-105, 2019; Shi et al, Immunity 51:1012-1027, 2019; and Wei, Nature 576:471–476, 2019).
