Health Science Lecture Series inflammation and epigenetics: How pathogens control our immune response" “Bugs, Feb. 5, 2014 ~ 6-7 p.m. The D. Dan and Betty Kahn Auditorium at the Alfred Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building Steven L. Kunkel, Ph.D., the U-M Medical School’s senior associate dean for research, will discuss his work, which assesses the molecular mechanisms of inflammation by investigating cell-to-cell communication circuits. With specific emphasis on signaling molecules called cytokines and chemokines, Dr. Kunkel’s research is internationally recognized and has provided a more clear understanding of the role of these proteins in lung diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The Health Science Lecture Series is sponsored by the A. Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute, the Program in Biology and a number of student organizations. The lectures are held quarterly on the U-M campus and focus on a wide variety of topics including medical research, public health, bioethics, evolutionary biology, epidemiology and many others. Open to the public; no registration is required. For more information, call 734-615-7282.
