Fight against COVID-19: functional and structural study of the T cell response
Biography
Professor Stephanie Gras is the head of the Viral and Structural Immunology lab at La Trobe University. She is an NHMRC Senior Research Fellow and led a lab of currently 16 staff/students within the department of Biochemistry and Genetics. Her lab focuses on the T cell response towards infections, especially viruses (SARS-CoV-2, HIV and influenza), to understand the molecular mechanism of an effective immune response. She has successfully secured funding from the ARC, NHMRC, and MRFF, and published over 100 peer-review articles in top journals (Science, Nature, Nature Immunology, Immunity, Science Immunology)
About School research seminars
Seminars cover all aspects of chemistry and molecular biosciences and are delivered by visiting national and international academics. PhD completion seminars are also incorporated into the program.
Seminars are usually held in person and via zoom. All are welcome to attend.
