Philip G Ashton-Rickardt, Ph.D, May 18th at noon
“Forward genetic analysis of T lymphocyte immunity to viruses” in the Vollum seminar room at 12:00PM on Wednesday, May 18, 2011.
Dr. Ashton-Rickardt will be speaking about some of the mutants he has identified in an ENU mutagenesis forward genetics program. He has escape mutants that are resistant to immune exhaustion and chronic LCMV infection and mutants with defective memory T cell development.
Dr. Ashton-Rickardt is Professor and Head of the Department of Immunology in the Division of Medicine and Theme Leader in Inflammation and Immunity at Imperial College London, UK. Contact David Parker, host, if you wish to meet with him.
