The medical school will welcome Michael McHeyzer-Williams, PhD, in May as the latest speaker for听Seminars in Investigative Medicine.
Dr. McHeyzer-Williams will present 鈥淩eProgramming B Cell Memory: One Cell at a Time鈥 from noon to 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 1, in TBL 2 at the W.E. Upjohn M.D. Campus in downtown Kalamazoo.
A free lunch will be available from 11:45 a.m. to noon and Dr. McHeyzer-Williams鈥 presentation will begin promptly at noon. The event is free and open to the public and CE and MEDU credit is available.

Dr.听McHeyzer-Williams听is听a听professor in the听Department of Immunology and Microbiology at Scripps Research's听California Campus. He earned his听PhD in Immunology at The University of Melbourne, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research.听
Dr.听McHeyzer-Williams'听area of expertise is in Helper T cells.听Helper T cells are the master regulators of adaptive immunity that control the development of antigen-specific B cell immunity. His research seeks to define the cellular and molecular details of the major developmental checkpoints that regulate these cell fate decisions in vivo. His lab has recently extended their studies into the earliest innate immune events that initiate and shape this adaptive immune response. If we can understand the rules that control adaptive immunity, it will be possible to design safe and effective protein sub-unit vaccines.
Dr. McHeyzer-Williams is part of an impressive slate of speakers for Seminars in Investigative Medicine for the 2018-2019 academic year.
In April, Ann Marshak-Rothstein, PhD visited 汤头条app听for Seminars in Investigative Medicine and presented 鈥淣ucleic Acid Sensors at the Interface of Autoimmunity and Autoinflammation.鈥
In support of improving patient care, 汤头条app is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical 汤头条app (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy 汤头条app (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
汤头条app designates this live activity for a maximum of 1.00听AMA PRA Category 1 Credit鈩. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
