This event will feature TEDx style talks for people inside and outside of academia to enjoy. They will focus on adaptive immune responses, the second-line, late response of the body.

1:45:15 - Do you feel like you faced any major barriers being Black in immunology and how did you navigate those?
1:48:35 - What foods include the microglial communities that promote food tolerance? Are there any goods that we can naturally eat that have these microbial communities in them?
1:54:56 - How can we improve our connection with our communities to rebuild trust within science in general?
1:58:09 - One piece of advice to a young Black immunologist.

Title: CXCR4 regulates B cell receptor editing and Ig lambda recognition (39:35)
Questions:
1:22:04 - Is CXCR4 expressed at similar levels in B1 and B2 cells subsets?
1:22:36 - Is there a defect in Ig lambda recombination after deletion of CXCR4 due in part to premature exit from the bone marrow?

1:36:28 - What made you think that immunology was for you? What is your story?
1:43:55 - Do you feel like you faced any major barriers being Black in immunology and how did you navigate those?
1:53:33 - Is there any function of CXCR4 in mature B cells once they are inside the spleen and all your respective organs? Outside of chemotaxis?
1:57:18 - One piece of advice to a young Black immunologist.
Avery D. Posey, Jr, Ph.D., an Assistant Professor in the Department of Systems Pharmacology and Translational Therapeutics, a member of the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy, and Research Health Scientist at the Philadelphia Veterans Administration Medical Center.
Title: Training the Immune System to Fight Cancer (59:15)
Questions:
1:23:20 - Were there any adverse effects seen in the mice with the 5E5 CAR T cells, like cytokine storm, given the robust anti-tumor response?
1:24:20 - Does the tumor burden affect the efficacy of the TOMC1. Have you tried a solid tumor, like B16?
