We are delighted to present Professor Deborah Dunn-Walters as our second speaker in the 2022 Almroth Wright lecture series, speaking on:
Antibody diversity in health and infection | Professor Deborah Dunn-Walters
This will be a hybrid event:
- In person: Rothschild Lecture Theatre, St Mary’s campus (2nd floor, Medical School building, Norfolk Place)
- Joining online: The event will also be live streamed.
About the speaker: Professor Dunn-Walters is Professor of Immunology in the School of Bioscience and Medicine, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Surrey. Her group studies B cell development in Health and Disease, taking a systems immunology approach to elucidate changes in humoral immunity with age and to discover antibodies useful in cancer and infectious disease. Her lab is currently working on improved tools to study immune repertoires, including novel methods for single cell analysis at a large scale and particularly as applied to elucidating the immunological responses to SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory infections. She has collaborated with many different laboratories worldwide, and has chaired a number of international B cell conferences.
