With an emphasis on autoimmune disease\, this free\, one-day hybrid eve nt on May 24 will be hosted at the Phoenix Bioscience Core in the Health S ciences Education Building. We are honored to host the following esteemed experts:\n\nKole Roybal\, PhD\, \;associate professor\, Department of& nbsp\;Microbiology and Immunology\, University of California\, San Francis co\n\nMark J. Shlomchik\, MD\, PhD\, UPMC endowed and distinguished profes sor\, Department of Immunology\, University of Pittsburgh\n\nGary S. Fires tein\, MD\, \;senior associate vice chancellor of Health Sciences\, pr ofessor of medicine\, University of California\, San Diego\n\nJennifer Fra nkovich\, MD\, clinical professor of pediatrics-rheumatology\, Stanford Me dicine Children’s Health\n\nWilliam Faubion\, MD\, \;dean of researc h\, professor of medicine\, pediatrics \;and immunology\, Mayo Clinic\ n\nAleksandar D. Kostic\, PhD\, assistant professor of microbiology\, Josl in Diabetes Center\, Harvard University\n\nBenjamin G. Keselowsky\, PhD\, professor of biomedical engineering\, University of Florida\n\nGeorge Post e\, DVM\, PhD\, Regents' professor and Del E. Webb Chair in Health Innovat ion\, Arizona State University (panel moderator)\n\nResearchers and physic ian-scientists are increasingly using precision medicine to develop new ce ll- and gene-based therapeutical options for diseases\, building on the id ea that the most effective defense against health issues is the body’s n atural immune system. With this in mind\, the University of Arizona intend s to launch the Center for Advanced Molecular and Immunological Therapies\ , or CAMI\, to serve as a center of research\, startup activity \;and corporate engagement with a focus on four areas: cancer\, infectious disea ses\, autoimmune diseases \;and real-time immune system monitoring.\n\ nThe day includes a panelist discussion and a question-and-answer forum. L unch is included for in-person attendees\, as well as a reception to follo w. The event will be live streamed for those unable to attend in person.\n \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister to attend\n\n\n\nCONTACT\n\n\nAlex Dubois\n\n\n\n\ndu boisa@arizona.edu\n\n\n\n\nUniversity of Arizona Health Sciences\n\n\n\n\n Office of the Senior Vice President for Health Sciences\n\n\n\n\n\n LOCATION:Health Sciences Education Building C104\, 435 N. 5th Street\, Phoe nix\, AZ\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=435 N. 5th Street\, Phoenix \, AZ\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Health Sciences Education Building C104:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Phoenix X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Phoenix BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20220524T101500 TZOFFSETFROM:-0700 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:MST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
