Dr.听McHeyzer-Williams听is听a听professor in the听Department of Immunology and Microbiology at Scripps Research's听California Campus. He earned his听PhD in Immunology at The University of Melbourne, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research.听

Dr.听McHeyzer-Williams'听area of expertise is in Helper T cells.听Helper T cells are the master regulators of adaptive immunity that control the development of antigen-specific B cell immunity. His research seeks to define the cellular and molecular details of the major developmental checkpoints that regulate these cell fate decisions in vivo. His lab has recently extended their studies into the earliest innate immune events that initiate and shape this adaptive immune response. If we can understand the rules that control adaptive immunity, it will be possible to design safe and effective protein sub-unit vaccines.

Dr. McHeyzer-Williams is part of an impressive slate of speakers for Seminars in Investigative Medicine for the 2018-2019 academic year.

In October, Bonnie B. Blomberg visited WMed for Seminars in Investigative Medicine and presented 鈥淐ontributors to Vaccine Response: Aging, Obesity, and Inflammation.鈥

In December, the medical school will welcome Judy Lieberman, 六合彩开奖直播, PhD, chair of Cellular and Molecular Medicine and professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School.
