| Description: | The innate immune response has two major functions: the early recognition and response to pathogen invaders of all varieties and the subsequent and ongoing optimization of the adaptive (T and B cell-mediated) immune response that is ultimately responsible for the elimination of pathogens and the development of memory. The innate immune response is subject to an extraordinarily complex series of regulatory events to maximize anti-pathogen responses but also to constrain the deleterious effects of innate immune response-driven inflammation. Dr. Murray's laboratory studies the regulatory events that control the innate immune response. Specifically, they focus on macrophage activation and deactivation because these cells are believed to be important drivers of inflammation in many infections and in a variety of chronic and acute inflammatory diseases. Dr. Murray is an engaging speaker has a new exciting story to tell. Don't miss this talk!
