VI4 Annual Symposium 2019 is this Wednesday - April 10th. It will bring together hundreds of researchers from VU, VUMC, and Meharry Medical College, with interests in clinical and basic science, aspects of infectious disease, immunology, inflammation, and microbiology. The Vanderbilt Pre3 Initiative has invited Dr. Vikki Abrahams because she is a global leader in reproductive immunology and infectious disease research. Dr. Abrahams' research focuses on understanding the role of innate immune Toll-like receptor and Nod-like receptor family members in placental and maternal-fetal immune responses, and their role in regulating pregnancy outcome, including those complicated by infections and by autoimmune diseases. Studies from the Abrahams laboratory have characterized the mechanisms by which Toll-like receptors, Nod-like receptors, and the inflammasome function in the placental trophoblast and fetal membranes in response to both infectious and non-infectious stimuli. Dr. Abrahams is a member of the American Association of Immunologists, International Society for Immunology of Reproduction, Society for Reproductive Investigation, and the American Society of Reproductive Immunology. Dr. Abrahams is the Associate Editor for Reviews of the American Journal of Reproductive Immunology and also serves on the editorial boards for a number of other journals within the Reproductive Sciences field. We look forward to seeing everyone this Wednesday!
