[External] Crick Crash Course: your immune system
From https://www.crick.ac.uk/whats-on/crick-crash-course-your-immune-system:
Our series of morning lectures sharing science from across the Crick in a simple and accessible way continues.
Our next lecture in the series is with Caetano Reis e Sousa, principal group leader of the Immunobiology Laboratory at the Francis Crick Institute. Caetano’s research focuses on immunology, the study of how our immune system works. His lab investigates how our bodies are able to sense infection, cancer and tissue injury, helping to lay the foundation for better vaccines and cancer therapies. Caetano has helped to define the cells and pathways involved in how our immune system detects viruses, fungi and dead cells. Caetano will talk us through the fascinating history of immunology, vaccination and disease, and share examples of his own research into immunity to infection and to cancer.
The talk will be followed by a Q&A session, where Caetano will be happy to answer any questions on immunology and general biology.
