Microbiology & Immunology Seminar Series

Co-Sponsored by the Developmental Center for AIDS Research (DCFAR)

Darrell J. Irvine, Ph.D., Professor of Biological Engineering and Materials Science, The David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, MIT

Title: To be announced

Host: Stephen Dewhurst

Research Interest: Our laboratory works at the interface of materials science and immunology. We use synthetic model systems to study immune cell biology and synthesize new materials for vaccines and immunotherapy. Building on our work on the mechanisms of T and B cell migration, we have developed chemokine-releasing microparticles that are informing our research and may represent a new tool for immunotherapy. We are also studying nanoparticles to overcome some of the key challenges in immunotherapy http://ki.mit.edu/people/faculty/irvine
