Recording on our YouTube Channel is available here.
Speaker:
Dr Florian Krammer, Professor of Vaccinology at the Department of Microbiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, USA
The Krammer laboratory focuses on understanding broadly-reactive immune responses against the surface glycoproteins of RNA viruses such as influenza with the goal to develop better vaccines and novel therapeutics.

23 June 2022 - "COVID-19 and Maternal Immunity"
10:00-11:00 AM EDT
16:00-17:00 CEST
Speaker:
Dr Helena Soares, Human immunologist, Chronic Diseases Research Centre (CEDOC), Lisbon, Portugal:
Dr. Helena Soares lab is interested in determining how immune receptor signaling is able to convey distinct immune responses that protect us against disparate aggressions (fungus, virus, bacteria, cancer, etc.). Current research focuses also on sex bias in immune responses and infectious diseases.
