“The Innate Immune System” Featuring Dr. Miriam Merad
On this episode of the Immunology Podcast, Dr. Miriam Merad from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai talks about tissue-resident macrophages in COVID-19 and cancer.
Dr. Miriam Merad is a Professor of Cancer Immunology and Director of the Marc and Jennifer Lipschultz Precision Immunology Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Her research focuses on dendritic cells and macrophages. She talks about tissue-resident macrophages in COVID-19 and cancer. She also discusses her new role as President of the International Union of Immunological Societies and bringing the international immunology community together at their upcoming meeting in South Africa.
