Tomorrow is Here Lecture Series: Creating New Defenses Against Disease After COVID-19
A New Era for Science: Creating New Defenses Against Disease After COVID-19
Deepta Bhattacharya, PhD, professor of immunobiology in the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson, will discuss key biomedical research discoveries connected to COVID-19 and how they are driving and informing new pathways of scientific pursuit to create defenses against disease.
At the University of Arizona Health Sciences, we know tomorrow belongs to those who are bold and compassionate, thoughtful and decisive – to those who are full of curiosity and wonder. We are educating the next generation of health care professionals and turning research into solutions to improve the health of people across Arizona and around the world.
We want to share our research, breakthroughs and discoveries with you through our Tomorrow is Here Lecture Series. Join us along our journey and attend one or more of our engaging and inspiring lectures offered in person and through virtual interactive platforms.
Reception to follow. Complimentary parking and refreshments will be provided. Registration required.
Dr. Bhattacharya received his doctorate from the University of California, Berkeley, studying the role of the NF-kB transcription factor in survival and B cell class switching. For his postdoctoral fellowship, he trained at Stanford University, studying the cell biology of hematopoietic stem cells and their differentiated progeny. In 2008, he began his own lab at Washington University in St. Louis, first as an assistant professor and then as a tenured associate professor. Dr. Bhattacharya returned in 2017 to his birthplace of Tucson, Arizona to join the Department of Immunobiology, where his lab continues to study both stem cells and antibody responses to infections and vaccines.
