“Location, location, location: how fibroblasts steer optimal antiviral immunity”
Short Abstract/Bio
Natalia Pikor received her PhD in Immunology at the University of Toronto in Canada working in the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Jennifer Gommernan. She then completed her post-doctoral training in the lab of Prof. Dr. Burkhard Ludewig in St. Gallen, Switzerland, working on lymph node B cell zone fibroblasts. In 2019, Natalia became a group leader in neuroimmunology at the Medical Research Center at the Cantonal Hospital in St. Gallen, and received a dual appointment with the Department of Biology at the ETH Zurich in 2023. Her research group continues to examine the role of fibroblasts in steering efficient immune responses both within secondary lymphoid organs and in neuroinflammatory conditions. In her talk, Natalia will delve into the immunobiology of fibroblasts in in the context of viral infections.
