The Wonderful World of the Immune System
Lecture Overview
Educators
Tony Kenna
Dr Tony Kenna is a cellular immunologist and a senior research fellow at the Queensland University of Technology. His research career has focused on human immunology and the identification of novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of immune-mediated diseases, including ankylosing spondylitis (AS and systemic sclerosis). The genomics revolution of the last decade has greatly expanded the understanding of the genetic architecture of many immune-mediated diseases. A major challenge now is to determine how newly identified genetic variants alter immune cell and immune system function(s). Working closely with leading human geneticists, Tony's research integrates world-first genomic data with cellular and molecular immunology to unravel the key drivers of disease pathogenesis. His work also enriches fundamental knowledge of human immunology. Dr Kenna’s lab has established biobank of patient clinical material with which to interrogate altered immune function in immune-mediated diseases. See Educator Profile

Excellent
Emily Kaye Price
Good resource, providing a refresher in the foundations, case study and the future implementations of immune therapy research.
Ann Simpson
A well presented lecture by an experienced Immunologist and researcher who shares his latest research and manages to make a quite complex subject easily understandable.

The presenter was very easy to listen to, and th information was interesting.
Helen Bourke
Really enjoyed the presentation however was hard to follow at times because of the filming of the presentation. The presenter and the entire screen at the same time would have helped.
