Neurology Webinar: Systemic immune consequences of stroke

Date: Wednesday, June 9
Zeit: 6:15 - 7:45 pm

Guest lecturer: Arthur Liesz is a clinician-scientist who has received his training in neurology at the University of Heidelberg Medical Center, in addition he was trained in experimental immunology at the German Cancer Research Institute (DKFZ). His research interest is on immunological aspects of acute brain injury, working on the topic of brain-immune interaction after acute brain injuries for more than a decade.More recently, Dr. Liesz’ lab focuses on the contribution of the gut microbiota to prime the post-ischemic neuroinflammatory response and has descriped for the first time a bi-directional link between the brain and gut microbiota in acute brain ischemia (e.g. Singh et al., J Neuroscience, 2016). Dr. Liesz is currently heading the “Laboratory of Stroke-Immunology” at the Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research in Munich, Germany.

The seminar takes place as a zoom conference. Webcam or microphone are not required for participation. The access data will be sent to you by email after registration. Contact: Sarah Khalil.
