Tertiary Lymphoid Organs in Transplantation

Date

March 18, 2021 - 8:30am

Event Description

Presenter: Dr. Martin Oberbarnscheidt 

Dr. Oberbarnscheidt's lab investigates mechanisms behind formation of tertiary lymphoid organs (TLO) post transplantation. TLO form at local sites of chronic immune activation and have been associated with poor prognosis in autoimmune diseases and improved prognosis in cancer. Their formation and function in transplantation is not clearly understood, but they have been associated with chronic rejection.
