Tuesday 9 May, 2:00 - 1:00pm, Seminar Room 1, TRF Building
Dr Lisa Lindqvist
Senior Postdoctoral Fellow
Walter and Eliza Hal
Institute
Division of Cell Signalling
and Cell Death
Sophisticated
regulation of inflammatory signalling during cell death is critical to ensure a
proper immune response. For instance during development, or when maintaining
homeostatic cell number, an inflammatory response would be detrimental, while
secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines are appropriate during infection. This
seminar will focus on how 3 cell suicide pathways (pyroptosis, necroptosis, and
mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis) differentially regulate pro-inflammatory
cytokine secretion, with a special focus on the role autophagy plays in this
process.
Lisa
Lindqvist received her PhD in 2011 from McGill University in Canada
characterising anti-neoplastic protein synthesis inhibitors. As Senior
Postdoctoral Fellow position in the Cell Signalling and Cell Division at the
Walter & Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research, her current research
program is dedicated to the understanding of the interplay between cell
suicide, autophagy, and inflammation pathways. Throughout her career, Dr
Lindqvist has been supported by multiple prestigious federal scholarships and
fellowships from NSERC, CIHR and the NHMRC. In 2011, she was named the CIHR
Bisby Fellow, a distinction awarded to the highest ranked proposal in the
annual National Canadian Institutes of Health Research Post-PhD fellowship
competition.
