'Programming hematopoiesis and immunity'
Filipe Pereira
Theatre Room
The Cell Reprogramming in Hematopoiesis and Immunity laboratory is interested in defining the molecular determinants of lineage specification and reprogramming in the hematopoietic system, as well as promoting alternative therapies utilizing reprogrammed hematopoietic cells. In this talk I will explore mechanisms of hematopoietic reprogramming and discuss the concept of inducing adaptive immune responses with cell reprogramming.
