In August 2022, Dr. Aimee M. Beaulieu, Assistant Professor and Chancellor Scholar, Center for Immunity and Inflammation and Department of Microbiology, Biochemistry, & Molecular Genetics, and colleagues published a study in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences demonstrating that the cytokine, IL-33, is a key regulator of pregnancy progression and type 2 immune responses at the maternal-fetal interface in mice.

2023 i3D Symposium – May 16 & 17, 2023
Host-Microbe interactions in health and disease
Doubletree by Hilton at Newark Penn Station ~ 1048 Raymond Blvd. ~ Newark, NJ
Co-chairs: Nick Bessman and Darin Wiesner
Registration Directions
The human immune system has evolved to face the challenge of pathogens and environmental insults while simultaneously supporting a healthy community of microbes. The host-microbe interplay impacts every facet of health and disease. Recent technological breakthroughs have facilitated new paradigms of host-microbe interactions and immune development that underlie infection, autoimmunity, inflammatory disease, and cancer. This area of research shows tremendous untapped potential for promoting health and developing new therapeutic strategies to treat chronic disease. The goal of this symposium is to bring together internationally-renowned leaders with diverse perspectives to share recent discoveries in this field, with the goal of supporting collaborative efforts to promote health and treat disease.
