08/12/2022 - Lecture 'The epigenetics of inflammation & innate immune memory'

Guest speaker: Dr. Musa Mhlanga

Organiser: Department of Biomolecular Medicine

The biphasic nature of a healthy inflammatory response consists of successive waves of coordinated immune gene activation and attenuation (Bhatt et al. 2012). Complex genetic programmes orchestrate the coordinated transcription of subsets of immune genes, allowing for cycles of pro-inflammation and anti-inflammation to ensue (Medzhitov 2008, Rogatsky and Adelman 2014). However, the molecular mechanisms that underlie these transcriptional programmes remain poorly understood.
