Live from the Lab: The Autoimmune Framework – Decoding Early Immune Signals
- This event has passed.
March 19, 2025 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT
Join Dr. Sonia Sharma, Associate Professor at La Jolla Institute for Immunology and Director of the Center for Sex-based Differences in the Immune System, as she unpacks the provocative world of innate immunity in this foundational framework for autoimmune disease and inflammation, underwritten by the Global Autoimmune Institute at our next Live from the Lab webinar on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, from 12:00-1:00 p.m. (PT).
In this session, discover how non-immune cells—from skin to blood vessels—act as the unheralded first responders that set the stage for autoimmune reactions and inflammatory processes. Through groundbreaking genome-scale approaches and state-of-the-art techniques like RNA interference, CRISPR/Cas9 and mass spectrometry metabolomics, Dr. Sharma will reveal how the earliest immune signals can shape disease outcomes. Whether you’re seeking to better understand your own health or that of a loved one, prepare for an intellectually stimulating journey that bridges cutting-edge science with practical insights for managing autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
Hosts look forward to having you join us and welcome you to share this opportunity with family and friends that may be interested in learning more about LJI, autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
Questions for Dr. Sharma can be submitted prior to the webinar by emailing Engagement and Stewardship Officer Chelsea Luedeke at cluedeke@lji.org. Hosts will make every effort to answer as many questions as possible during the webinar.
