Pioneers in Biomedical Research Seminar: Pathogenic Mechanisms and Novel Therapies for Immune Neoplasms
Date: Feb. 10, 2023
Time: 11 a.m. - 12 p.m.
About this Seminar
A majority of hematologic malignancies arise from B-cells undergoing the adaptive immune response. Dr. Melnick will discuss recent insights explaining why this particular pathway is so prone to transformation and how B-cells arise from aberrant immune niches. He will also discuss some of the therapeutic vulnerabilities discovered based on mechanistic observations of the pathogenic trajectory of these tumors.
