SUMMARY:WFI Infection & Immunity Seminar Series – Immune defences from RN
 A virus infection – Prof Caetano Reis e Sousa
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next instalment of the Wright Fleming In
 stitute Seminar Series (Winter/Spring)\nProfessor Caetano Reis e Sousa (hy
 brid seminar)\nBiography\nCaetano Reis e Sousa obtained a BSc Hons in Biol
 ogy in 1989 from Imperial College London\, and a DPhil in Immunology in 19
 92 from the University of Oxford. He subsequently trained as a postdoctora
 l fellow at the National Institutes of Health\, USA\, with Ron Germain.\nI
 n 1998 he joined the Imperial Cancer Research Fund\, later re-named Cancer
  Research UK London Research Institute\, where he headed the Immunobiology
  Laboratory. His laboratory became part of the Francis Crick Institute in 
 2015.\nHe is currently a senior group leader and assistant research direct

 e and Dendritic Cell Society (2002)\, the Liliane Bettencourt for Life Sci
 ences Award (2008)\, the Award for Excellence in Basic/Translational Resea
 rch from the European Society for Clinical Investigation (2011)\, the Loui
 s-Jeantet Prize for Medicine (2017) and the Bial Award in Biomedicine (201

 munobiology Laboratory\nDendritic cells (DC) play a key role in the initia
 tion and regulation of adaptive immune responses and\, therefore\, the man
 ipulation of DC has tremendous potential for cancer immunotherapy and for 
 vaccination against infectious agents.\nWe study innate immune receptors a
 nd signalling pathways that trigger DC activation and promote T cell primi
 ng or that generally act to modulate the function of DC. Many of these pat
 hways are shared with other cell types and are triggered in response to in
 fection or cell death.\nIn a related research programme\, we study DC and 
 myeloid cell heterogeneity and ontogeny with a view to understand the role
  of distinct DC subtypes in mouse and in human.\nPlease join this hybrid e
