Read Pukkila-Worley, MD, FIDSA — Associate Professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, UMass Chan Medical School — will be visiting WSU Spokane. His seminar entitled, “Bacterial Patterns of Pathogenesis in Intestinal Immunity” will be in person in the Spokane Center for Clinical Research and Simulation room 250 and through Zoom on Tuesday, Dec. 12, noon–1 p.m.
Dr. Read Pukkila-Worley Read is an infectious diseases physician and PI of the lab. He received his MD from UNC-Chapel Hill and completed his clinical training at the Massachusetts General Hospital. Read was a postdoc with Fred Ausubel, PhD at MGH before joining the UMass faculty in 2015. The major goal of the Pukkila-Worley laboratory is to characterize mechanisms of immune homeostasis in intestinal epithelial cells. We aim to use these discoveries to identify innate immune pathways that can be exploited to develop new therapies, which can modulate host immune activity.
We look forward to you joining us in person (SCCRS 205) or through Zoom!
