IBD Rounds | Mount Sinai
Please join us for our upcoming Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Rounds featuring Dr. Arthur Mortha, Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair in Mucosal Immunology at the University of Toronto.
Topic
Regulation of Type 2 Immunity in Barrier Tissues
Session overview
In this presentation, Dr. Mortha will discuss the complex cellular and molecular networks governing type 2 immunity within mucosal and barrier environments. The session will highlight how disruption in these crucial regulatory pathways impacts tissue homeostasis and drives chronic inflammatory states. Attendees will gain critical insights into how these foundational networks map onto the pathogenesis of and potential therapeutic targets for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
About the speaker
Arthur Mortha, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the Department of Immunology at the University of Toronto’s Temerty Faculty of Medicine and holds the Canada Research Chair in Mucosal Immunology. The Mortha Laboratory investigates the cellular and molecular networks governing barrier immunity and the host-microbiota dialogue to understand how these pathways protect against or drive chronic inflammatory and infectious diseases.
Audience
This session is for gastroenterologists, immunologists, GI fellows, researchers and allied health professionals.
Please join us in person. Refreshments will be provided.
