Each quarter, UCLA undergraduate science students showcase the research they have done. We would like to invite you to see our students in action and to share your professional expertise during theWinter 2019 MIMG/MCDB Undergraduate ResearchPoster Symposium.

Date: Friday March 15th, 2019

Time: 2:00 4:00 PM

Location:

Good Weather: Molecular Sciences Bldg.Patio

Poor Weather: Life Sciences Bldg.rm2320

Program Overview: Showcases and celebrates undergraduate student research and allows students to present their work to the campus and broader community. Studentswillpresent the results of their work conducted thisyear in thefollowinglaboratory programs:

MIMG 103BL AdvancedResearchAnalysis inVirology:Characterizationand Genomic Analysis ofNovelBacteriophages

MIMG 109BL AdvancedResearchAnalysis in Microbiology: Agricultural Impacts on Soil Microbial Communities

MCDB 150L Research Immersion Laboratory in Plant-Microbe Ecology: Plant Growth Promotion in Diverse Soils

Your Role: Give studentsan opportunity to share their research and to practice and strengthen their public speaking skills.Your role is to listen to student poster talks and provide students with feedback on their work and presentations.

Since its inception in 1910, the Department of Pathology & Immunology has had combined excellence in research, training, and clinical service. Our conviction that basic science research leads to exceptional training and high-quality clinical service has made our department a vital bridge between the basic sciences and other clinical disciplines at Washington University. We are a vital and ever-evolving group of scholars dedicated to human pathobiology and the care of those afflicted with disease.

The Department of Microbiology and Immunology is pleasedrecognize graduate student, EricDunham of theBoyd Lab, whohas recently been selected for the highly competitiveNational Science FoundationGraduate Research Fellowship. Eric, who studiesthe role of hydrogen in supporting subglacial microbial communities, has traveled to Icelandto collected sediments from beneath four glaciers. The NSF fellowship will allow him to conduct a second round of experiments on the microorganisms that live without oxygen and are isolated from sunlight in those sediments.

Eric, who is entering his third year as a Ph.D. candidate under the mentorship of Dr. Eric Boyd, is a Montana native who grew up in Billings andgraduated in 2013 from the University of Montana with a double major in cell and molecular biology and biochemistry. Before coming to MSU Eric worked for two yearson a post-baccalaureate research fellowship with the NIH at the Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, MTstudying the Ebola virus.

Immunology is the study of the immune system. The immune system protects us from infection through various lines of defense. Molecular and cellular components make up the immune system. The function of these components is divided into non specific mechanisms, those which innate to an organism, and responsive responses which are adaptive to specific pathogens. Fundamental or classical immunology involves studying the components that make up the innate and adaptive immune system.

Innate immunity is the first line of defense and is non-specific that is the responses that are the same for all potential pathogens, no matter how different they maybe. Innate immunity includes physical barriers( e.g. skin, saliva etc) and cells (e.g. macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, mast cells etc). These components are ready to go and protect an organisms for the first few days of infection. Adaptive immunity is the second line of defense which involves building up memory of encountered response specific to the pathogen or foreign substance.

Adaptive immunity involves antibodies, which generally target foregin pathogens roaming free in the bloodstream. Also involved are T-cells, which are directed especially towards pathogens that have colonized cells and can directly kill infected cells or help control the antibody response.

Immunology is the discipline of biology that examines the mechanisms of host defense against pathogenic agents. The study of the immune system offers a unique opportunity to analyze a complex multicomponent system consisting of molecules and cells that have documented physiologic relevance. Immunology has a strong foundation in biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology.

Washington University School of Medicine has a large community of investigators who make immunology their primary focus. The research within our program spans a broad spectrum, ranging from studies at the basic structural and molecular levels of host defense all the way to clinical applications directed at significant health problems, such as cancer immunotherapy. The Program in Immunology has grown to include more than 50 research laboratories and the number continues to increase. This unusual concentration of immunologists was the stimulus that led to the formation of a separate Graduate Program in Immunology in 1986.

Clinical and Vaccine Immunology (CVI) published articles that enhanced the understanding of the immune response in health and disease and after vaccination by showcasing discoveries in clinical, laboratory, and vaccine immunology.

As of January 2018, research in this area is published by ASM's multi-disciplinary, open access journal mSphere.

SMIs aim is to bridge the gap between the high quality immunology presented at meetings such as AAI, and the high quality clinical specialty meetings (DDW, ATS, FOCIS) to provide a forum where people interested in immunology at mucosal surfaces can share ideas.

The perks of a SMI membership will allow you to collaborate and grow as an immunologist. SMI membership benefits include:

The Department of Immunology offers graduate training in various areas of molecular and cellular immunology. Research topics in the department include adaptive immunity, innate immunity, antigen receptor gene recombination and hypermutations, immune signaling pathways, lymphocyte development, leukocyte trafficking, autoimmunity, host defense against pathogens, lymphomagenesis, and cancer immunology. The program offers courses covering fundamental knowledge and advanced topics in immunology. Graduate training also includes active participation in seminars, journal clubs, group meetings, and student teaching. Annual committee meetings and progress reports are required for on time completion of thesis projects.

The multi-disciplinary Program in Immunology consists of over 100 UAB Faculty who identify themselves as basic or clinical immunologists and are members of multiple units at UAB. A desire for excellence on the part of the UAB faculty, coupled with the relative youth of the institution, has promoted a collective attitude of interdepartmental cooperation and collegiality.

UAB is the home of several internationally prominent research programs, e.g., Developmental Immunology, Mucosal Immunology, Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology Division, Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Center, Host Defense, Virology and Vaccine Biology. Newer programsin Cancer Immunology, Allergy, Immunogenetics, Inflammation and Tissue Injury, Transplantation Immunology, Neuroimmunology, and Basic Immunology of the T cell and innate systems are poised to become highly competitive.

For a brief history of the Program in Immunology at UAB, written by Dr. Claude Bennett, please click here.

The Program in Immunology was created to enhance the wide distribution of immunology-related research at UAB. This trans-departmental program seeks to enhance communication among faculty in order to identify and stimulate additional synergies across campus. The main goals of the program are to:
