The Department of Biomedical Data Science at Geisel invites you to attend a special seminar with Peter Szabo, PhD, Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Immunology, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, on Monday, April 29 from 12:15-1:15pm at DHMC, Auditorium H (or via Zoom).
Talk title: “Transcriptional programs of tissue immunity across the human lifespan”
Host: Rob Frost, PhD
Location: In-person at DHMC, Auditorium H or via Zoom (no registration required)

Presentation Summary
The majority of immune cells throughout the human body are localized in lymphoid and mucosal tissues. For a greater understanding of immune cell compartmentalization and function in tissues, collaborations with organ procurement networks facilitate the study of physiologically healthy tissues from human organ donors. The talk will focus on two studies utilizing these unique tissue resources in conjunction with systems immunology approaches to dissect the transcriptional states of tissue immune cells and how they evolve over age. The first study will discuss the differences in transcriptional programming between infant and adult tissue T cells, while the second study will focus on tissue-directed signatures of immune cell aging in a large multimodal tissue immune cell atlas.
Biography
Dr. Peter Szabo received his PhD in Microbiology and Immunology from Western University in Ontario, Canada and trained with Dr. Donna Farber in human immunology at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York as a postdoctoral fellow. He is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Microbiology & Immunology at the Columbia University Medical Center and a member of the Human Tissue Immunity and Disease Initiative in collaboration with the laboratory of Dr. Farber. His research interests include using single cell technologies to dissect pathways for the development and function of resident immune cells in human tissues.
