Inflammation in Infection and Cancer: New Biological Insights and Emerging Therapeutics

In this Webinar, you will learn:

• How innate immune receptors regulate inflammation and activate inflammasome in infectious diseases
• The role of innate immune receptors in controlling tumors development
• The functions of innate immune system in maintaining health and combating disease

About this Webinar:

Inflammation is a vital process that protects us from infections. Excessive or prolonged inflammation, however, can contribute to serious health issues, including cancer. In this webinar, Dr. Si Ming Man will present their recent findings on the role of innate immune receptors in controlling inflammation and inflammasome activation, shedding light on their impact in infectious diseases. He will also explore how these innate immune receptors influence tumor development, with many acting independently of well-known inflammatory pathways through mechanisms such as DNA-damage response. These insights open up new avenues for therapeutic strategies targeting both infections and cancer.

The webinar record will be shared to the registrants.
Webinar certificate is available. (Please send the request to: Marketing@medchemexpress.com)

About Si Ming Man, PhD

Dr. Si Ming Man is a leading researcher in the fields of immunology, infection, and cancer. Currently, he holds the positions of Professor, CSL Centenary Fellow, and NHMRC Leadership Fellow at the Australian National University. His research focuses on how the innate immune defends against infectious diseases and how dysregulated inflammation can drive cancer progression. Dr. Man’s innovative contributions have been earned him prestigious recognitions, including the Frank Fenner Prize for Life Scientist of the Year (2022) and the Australian Academy of Science Gottschalk Medal (2023). His work has also been highlighted by several Clarivate™ Highly Cited Researcher awards.
