The "Immunology Research in Progress" seminar series is co-sponsored by the Institute for Human Infections and Immunity (IHII), the Departments of Microbiology & Immunology, Pathology, and Pediatrics.

Presenters will be faculty members and senior postdoctoral fellows/graduate students who are in the areas of research for "immune regulation or host defense." For sign up or questions/suggestions, please contact Dr. Lynn Soong either by phone 409-772-8149 or via email.

Room: Levin Hall 2.222 (unless otherwise noted)
Times: Wednesday, 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
