Description:	Immunology Interest Group Dr. Yong Jun Liu is currently the CSO/ Head of Research and the Senior Vice President of R&D at Medimmune in Gaithersburg. Dr. Liu trained in China and the UK and was a senior scientist at Schering-Plough and DNAX. He then became the Director of the Center for Cancer Immunology Research at MD Anderson in Houston. Most recently he served as the director of the Baylor Institute for Immunology Research in Dallas. Throughout his career he has made a commitment to partnering clinical and basic immunology to great effect. Yong Jun has made many seminal discoveries and contributions in a wide range of immunology fields. He started out studying B cells, helping to define the germinal center reaction and identifying BCR and CD40 signals for affinity maturation. Next, he discovered plasmacytoid DCs, and has contributed to our further understanding of this cell type, including their mechanisms of type 1 IFN signaling (both via TLR7/9 and more recently defining cytosolic DNA/RNA sensors). He also defined a role for TSLP in Th2 and allergic inflammation. For more information go to http://sigs.nih.gov/immunology/Pages/default.aspx
