16:00-17:00 CEST
​
Speaker:
​
Dr Helena Soares, Human immunologist, Chronic Diseases Research Centre (CEDOC), Lisbon, Portugal:
Dr. Helena Soares lab is interested in determining how immune receptor signaling is able to convey distinct immune responses that protect us against disparate aggressions (fungus, virus, bacteria, cancer, etc.). Current research focuses also on sex bias in immune responses and infectious diseases.
