Different faces of immune memory
In-person only
​​In my lab we ask how cells can remember previous infections and how this leads to different responses to future challenges. In this talk, I will share studies that span traditional adaptive immune memory and provide evidence of memory within non-immune cells following an influenza virus infection. We use a variety of techniques including reporter animals, flow cytometry, imaging and spatial transcriptomics to interrogate the consequences of prior infection on long-term memory and the response to re-infection.
