Dr. Frances Lund, a renowned immunologist known for her research on T cell dysfunction and B cell differentiation, shares her latest findings. They delve into the impacts of lactate metabolism on exhausted T cells and the fascinating role of mitochondria in immune dynamics. The discussion highlights novel pathways of B cell responses that operate independently of T cells, offering insights into autoimmune diseases and vaccine development. They wrap up the conversation with reflections from the IMMUNOLOGY2024 conference.

Dr. Frances Lund discusses B-cell roles, nasal vaccines for respiratory illnesses, and immune response modulation. Topics include COVID vaccine design, T-cell cancer vaccines, stress impact on immunity, sexual dimorphism, and intranasal vaccine development.
