On the first Thursday of each month, the School of Medicine hosts a seminar highlighting two recently hired assistant professors. Each presenter gives a 30-minute introduction to their research program. The goal is to introduce our talented new faculty to the broader research community in the School of Medicine and to potentially seed new cross-school collaborations.

Featured Speakers on June 5

  • Laura Newman PhD, Assistant Professor, Cell Biology, presents “The roles of mitochondria and mitochondria-organelle contacts in the regulation of mtDNA release from mitochondria, innate immune signaling, and responses to viral infection.”
  • Uday Tak, PhD, Assistant Professor, Microbiology, Immunology and Cancer Biology, presents “Antiviral immunity by bacterial cGAS-like pathways.”

No registration required. Light refreshments will be served.
