Tuesday, November 19, 2019  Ian A. Wilson, D.Phil., D.Sc., FRS, will deliver the 2019 Kinyoun lecture, "Structure-Assisted Design of Universal Vaccines and Therapeutics Against Influenza Virus", discussing how insights gained through structural biology approaches are aiding in devising new ways to treat or prevent influenza. The NIH community and the public are invited to hear his remarks today, Tuesday, November 19, at 3 p.m. in Lipsett Amphitheater, Bldg. 10. In his lecture, Wilson will discuss his laboratory's work on determining the structures of broadly neutralizing antibodies against two influenza proteins, which has revealed major sites of vulnerability on the virus. He also will describe how this information could aid the quest to develop new flu vaccines and therapies that provide broad and durable protection against multiple flu strains and subtypes, unlike seasonal vaccines and current therapeutics. This lecture is sponsored by the NIAID, part of the NIH, and is open to the public. For information on how to get to Lipsett Amphitheatre, visit https://www.nih.gov/about-nih/visitor-information. For those that cannot attend in person, a live videocast is available at https://videocast.nih.gov/. |
