    • - Category : Immunology
    Immunology Interest Group

    Dr. Vijay Kuchroo is the Samuel L. Wasserstrom Professor of Neurology and the Director of the Evergrande Center for Immunologic Diseases at Harvard Medical School. Throughout his career, Dr. Kuchroo???s primary focus has been to investigate the pathogenic and regulatory mechanisms in autoimmune diseases. His interest in regulatory T cells began during his post-doctoral fellowship in Dr. Martin Dort???s laboratory at Harvard Medical School where he analyzed antigen-specificity and requirements for the suppressive activity of regulatory T cells. As an independent investigator, Dr. Kuchroo continued to study the immunoregulatory mechanisms responsible for the prevention of organ specific autoimmunity. His laboratory identified that IL-27 was the primary inducer of IL-10-producing, regulatory Tr1 cells, which could potently suppress development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). His laboratory also identified and characterized major players of the TIM (T cell Immunoglobulin and Mucin) family of cell surface receptors: TIM-1, TIM-2, TIM-3 and TIM-4, and delineated their involvement in regulation of immune responses. Dr. Kuchroo has also made significant contributions to our understanding of the biology of CD4+ T helper cells. His laboratory was among the first to describe the molecular and cellular factors that promote differentiation and terminal maturation of TH17 cells. His extensive transcriptional profiling of TH17 cells defined dynamic molecular circuits of 39 regulatory factors that control TH17 differentiation (Nature (2013) 496: 461-468) and also identified the transcriptional signature for pathogenic TH17 cells (Nature Immunology (2012) 13: 991-999). Both studies highlighted novel, potential drug targets for treating TH17-mediated immunopathologies.

    Adult stem cells continuously supply highly differentiated but short-lived cells, such as blood, skin, intestinal epithelium, and sperm cells, throughout life. To maintain the balance between stem cells and differentiating cells -- a failure of which may lead to tumorigenesis through excess self-renewal or tissue degeneration through excess differentiation -- many stem cells have the potential to divide asymmetrically so that each division produces one stem cell and one differentiating cell.

    Drosophila male germline stem cells (GSCs) serve as an ideal model system to study stem-cell behavior. They reside in the stem-cell niche, which specifies stem-cell identity by sending essential signal(s). Stem cells have elaborate cellular mechanisms to ensure the asymmetric outcome of the division, producing one stem cell and one differentiating cell, which is the key to tissue homeostasis.

    Whereas the stem-cell niche provides essential signals for stem-cell identity and proliferation, it is not well known how the niche signal is limited to stem cells, while other cells in proximity are not misspecified by the niche signaling. Here we show that in Drosophila testis, GSCs extend microtubule-based nanotubes into the hub cells, the major component of the stem-cell niche. We further demonstrate that the nanotube mediates decapentaplegic (Dpp) signaling between the hub and GSCs. We propose that confinement of the Dpp signaling to a spatially limited surface area of the nanotube allows privileged reception of niche-derived signals by stem cells.

    Dr. Susan Kaech is Associate Professor of Immunobiology and HHMI Early Career Scientist at Yale University. After receiving her Ph.D. from Stanford University for her studies in the field of developmental biology, Dr. Kaech joined the laboratory of Dr. Rafi Ahmed for her postdoctoral training. During this period, she made seminal discoveries in the area of effector and memory T cell development. In particular, she provided the first molecular and functional profiling of effector and memory CD8+ T cells and identified cellular precursors of long-lived memory CD8+ T cells. She became assistant professor at Yale University in 2004, and was promoted to associate professor in 2009. Her work as independent investigator has profoundly shaped our current understanding of how CD8+ memory T cells are formed. She elucidated key transcriptional regulators that control CD8+ T cell differentiation, such as T-bet, Blimp-1, and STAT3, and she has also identified pivotal cytokines that regulate effector and memory cell fate decisions, including IL-12, IL-10 and IL-21. Dr. Kaech has been a recipient of numerous awards including the Burroughs-Wellcome Foundation Award in Biomedical Science (2003), the Cancer Research Institute Investigator Award (2005), and the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists & Engineers, NIH (2007).

    "HIV Latency in Perinatal Infection: Opportunities and Challenges Towards an HIV Cure"

    In 1996, Congress established Caribbean American Heritage Month (CAHM) to be commemorated each June in recognition of the important contributions of Caribbean Americans to U.S. history and culture. On Monday, June 15, 2015, a native of Guyana, Dr. Deborah Persaud, will deliver a research lecture for NIH`s first-ever CAHM commemorative scientific event.

    Deborah Persaud, MD of the Johns Hopkins Children`s Center and School of Medicine is a distinguished virologist and pediatric HIV researcher who led NIH-funded groundbreaking studies that initially cured the HIV perinatally-infected "Mississippi Baby". For the first time, Dr. Persaud will brief HHS staff on findings from and future directions for her landmark studies, which are funded by both the NIH/NIAID and NIH/NICHD.

    This important event has been organized by the NIH Caribbean American Planning Committee and will feature the following speakers:
