You're Invited To Meet Friendly Roosevelt Island Neighborhood Scientists, Weill Cornell Medicine Postdoc Pub Talk On The Inflammation Situation: Tales From Immunologists Research On HIV Cure And Lung Allergy At Nisi Restaurant February 11

The Postdoctoral Association of Weill Cornell Medicine is hosting their fifth neighborhood Pub Talk event at Roosevelt Island's Nisi Kitchen (559 Main Street) Tuesday February 11.

According to Postdoc Pub Talks:

Come meet your friendly neighborhood scientists! Two researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine will discuss what they are doing in the lab to advance the scientific frontier in immunology research.

Up first, Talia Mota will present "HIV cure: Captain of the Immunological Space Ship". Talia will describe her work looking at a type of cell in the immune system (called a “T cell”) and how it identifies and attacks HIV infection. Her work has important implications towards developing a cure for HIV.

To conclude, Xin Li will present “Exploring gut (fungal mycobiome)-lung allergy crosstalk”. The microbiome is the world of symbiotic fungi and bacteria in the gut. By experimentally changing the microbiome in mice, Xin explores the link between the microbiome and lung diseases like asthma.

All are welcome, we hope to see you there!

The @WeillCornell PDA is hosting another #PostdocTalks event for everyone who is interested at Nisi, Roosevelt Island, on 2/11. These events are always very well attended so make sure to be there in time! https://t.co/qt276UTvLs
