Speaker Bio
Andrew Gewirtz, university center professor at Georgia State University, specializes in research on innate immunity, microbiome, intestinal inflammation and obesity/diabetes. Inflammation plays a central role in many disease states, and his goal is to understand the normal mechanisms by which pro-inflammatory signals protect against microbes and discern how they go awry in disease states. His primary area of focus is on the intestinal epithelium.
The seminar presentation is part of the Biomedical Seminar Series, organized by 51情报站 College of Sciences, College of Engineering and Technology, College of Health Sciences and the Director of the Center of Bioelectrics. It will take place on Friday, February 5th, from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. via the Zoom link provided below:
