Engineering molecules to systems for enhancing your immune system
Abstract
The immune system has a big job - to defend your body against infection and disease from birth to death. This talk will give an overview of how research in the Szeto lab is applying engineering approaches and tools to enhance your immune system to improve human health. Three vignettes will be discussed:- development of a rapid method for cell engineering to treat cancer,
- leveraging unique physical and chemical properties of nanoparticles to improve lupus therapy, and
- defining statistical models that can predict clinical outcomes of diseases using biological big data.
