Trinity College Dublin

11:30 a.m., seminar room, 4th floor, Wagistrasse 12

Luke O`Neill is professor of Biochemistry and Immunology at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. His research investigates molecular pathways of inflammation, in particular innate immune mechanisms. His work on activation and signaling pathways of toll-like receptors and inflammasomes was the basis for the development of novel approaches to treat inflammatory diseases. His work on intracellular metabolism showed the importance of metabolic reprogramming in the activation of immune cells during inflammation.

The Specialist Seminar provides high-end educational seminars on the first Tuesday of every month to all members of the Bio-Technopark. The aim is to further support the collaboration between industry and academic institutions at the Bio-Technopark and to provide opportunities for international networking.
