Trained immunity: a memory for innate host defense, presented by Prof Mihai Netea, 8 February

Thursday 8 February, 11am-12pm, Seminar rooms 1 & 2, TRF

Professor Mihai Netea, Department of Internal Medicine, Radboud
University Medical Center

Mihai Netea was born and studied medicine in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. He completed his PhD at the Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands, on studies investigating the cytokine network in sepsis. After working as a post-doc at the University of Colorado, he returned to Nijmegen where he finished his clinical training as an infectious diseases specialist, and where he currently heads the division of Experimental Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Nijmegen University Nijmegen
Medical Center.

Prof Netea’s group studies the impact of inflammation in infections and autoinflammatory diseases. His approach is to combine expertise in immunology with systems biology, and translational
studies in disease models and patients, in order to describe new pathways modulating
inflammation and to identify novel therapeutic approaches. He is mainly interested in understanding the factors influencing variability of human immune responses, the biology of sepsis and
immunoparalysis, and the study of the memory traits of innate immunity.
