Irish Mensa Lecture & Discussion: The Future of Immunity

Our understanding of the human immune system today is vastly different from that of 50 years ago. This knowledge has led to immune-based therapies that would have seemed like science fiction to our grandparents: monoclonal antibodies, T-cell therapies, anti-cancer vaccines, precision immune suppression – the list is endless. In this lecture, we look to the future and ask, "What next for immunity?"

Our Speaker: A Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences, Wolfson Royal Society Research Merit Fellow and Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology, Professor Robin May specializes in research into human infectious diseases, with a particular focus on how pathogens survive and replicate within host organisms.
