BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:VideoCast CALSCALE:GREGORIAN METHOD:PUBLISH BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Understanding adaptive immunity and immune memory to SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 RNA vaccines, with lessons for vaccines against other pathogens DTSTART:20221020T160000Z DTEND:20221020T170000Z DTSTAMP:20221021T133200Z UID:Videocast--46145 LOCATION:https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=46145 DESCRIPTION:Shane Crotty\, Ph.D.\, La Jolla Institute\nCOVID-19 Scientific Interest Group\n\nShane Crotty\, Ph.D.\, and his team study immunity against infectious diseases. They investigate how the immune system remembers infections and vaccines. By remembering infections and vaccines\, the body is protected from becoming infected in the future. Vaccines are one of the most cost-effective medical treatments in modern civilization and are responsible for saving millions of lives. Yet\, good vaccines are very difficult to design\, and very few new vaccines have been made in the past 10 years. A better understanding of immune memory will facilitate the ability to make new vaccines. Dr. Tony Fauci\, NIH\, referred to some of the Crotty lab work as “exceedingly important to the field of immunogen design.”\n\nFor more information go to 'https://www.niaid.nih.gov/research/covid-19-sig'>https://www.niaid.nih.gov/research/covid-19-sig X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\n\n
