SUMMARY:LMB Seminar - The immune system of bacteria - IN PERSON ONLY - Rot
 em Sorek\, Weizmann Institute of Science
DTSTART:20250127T110000Z

CONTACT:Scientific Meetings Co-ordinator
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few years\, research from our lab pioneered the 
 discovery of the bacterial pan-immune system. We now understand that beyon
 d restriction-modification and CRISPR-Cas\, bacteria encode over 150 disti
 nct anti-phage immune systems. Our studies surprisingly revealed that impo
 rtant components of the human innate immune system originated in bacterial
  systems that defend from phages. The talk will summarize our understandin
 g of the bacterial immune system\, and will highlight how bacterial defens
 e from phage gave rise to key mechanisms in human innate immunity.
LOCATION:In person in the Max Perutz Lecture Theatre (CB2 0QH)
