Nevertheless, the immune system can also go awry, resulting in chronic swelling or autoimmune conditions that compromise host defenses and deleteriously intensify co-morbidities. In this webinar brought to you by The Scientist, Klaus Ley and Neeloffer Mookherjee will explore the relationships between swelling, autoimmunity, and pathology, and how researchers can harness these relationships for restorative purposes.Topics to be coveredCharacterizing autoimmune reactions that intensify atherosclerosisHarnessing host defenses to selectively control swelling in chronic diseaseRegister NowMeet the Speakers: Klaus Ley, MDProfessorCenter for Autoimmunity and InflammationInflammation Biology LaboratoryLa Jolla Institute for ImmunologyNeeloffer Mookherjee, PhDProfessorInternal Medicine and ImmunologyUniversity of ManitobaCIHR Sex and Gender Science Chair, Circulatory and Respiratory HealthChair, WISDOM (Women in Science: Development, Outreach and Mentoring), ManitobaSponsored by
