Lecture title: How microbes are rewriting the rules of immunity - Front Row lecture with Howard Hang, PhD Description: How do microbes influence our immune system, and can we leverage this relationship to combat disease? In this free Front Row lecture, Scripps Research Professor Howard Hang will delve into his lab’s innovative work at the intersection of chemistry, microbiology and immunology. By dissecting the molecular dialogues between gut bacteria and human cells, Hang’s research uncovers how microbial enzymes generate small molecules—called microbial metabolites—that can influence immune responses.
