PNRI’s Science Matters Seminar – Just a Needle Stick Away: Uncovering Genetic Mysteries of Immunity Through Collaborative Efforts

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm PST

Join Cecilia Poli, MD, PhD, Director of Immunogenetics and Translational Immunology Program at the Universidad del Desarrollo, as she explores how studying inborn errors of immunity sheds light on how the human immune system is regulated. By examining immune cells, researchers can conduct functional studies to establish disease associations and deepen our understanding of immune mechanisms.

PNRI’s Science Matters free, virtual seminars feature discussions with scientists around the globe about exciting research in genetics, genomics, and evolutionary biology with important societal impact.  Topics include research on the genetics of ethnically diverse populations, diseases afflicting vulnerable or underserved groups, and efforts to expand the diversity (broadly defined) of research subjects or the scientific workforce.
