Bacterial Patterns of Pathogenesis in Intestinal Immunity

December 12, 2023
Noon–1:00PM PST
SCCRS 250 or via Zoom

Speaker: Read Pukkila-Worley, MD, FIDSA
Associate Professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases and Immunology, UMass Chan Medical School

Dr. Read Pukkila-Worley 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.
