Join Dr Morgan Huse from Sloan Kettering Institute for a Force Talk entitled "Mechanoregulation of Cellular Cytotoxicity".
Dr. Huse grew up in East Asia before completing high school in Los Angeles. After graduating from Harvard University with a degree in Biochemical Sciences, he carried out doctoral work at the Rockefeller University in the labs of John Kuriyan and Tom Muir. His Ph.D. thesis focused on the phosphoregulation of the TGFβ receptor. Dr. Huse then worked as a postdoctoral fellow in Mark Davis’ lab at Stanford University, where he studied signal transduction and polarized effector responses in T cells. He took a position in the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) Immunology Program in 2007.
Since joining MSKCC, his lab has investigated the dynamic architecture of immune cell-cell interactions. He has studied key signaling pathways required for the elaboration of specific interfacial structures and the importance of mechanical force as an avenue for communication between immune cells and their targets. His talk today will describe recent studies from his lab aimed at understanding the mechanoregulation of immune effector responses.
