Pediatric Grand Rounds (CME): Metabolism, T Cells, and the Thymus

The Harvey J. Cohen, MD, PhD, Endowed Lectureship in Pediatrics
Metabolism, T Cells, and the Thymus

PRESENTED BY
Katja Weinacht, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor, Pediatrics, Stem Cell Transplantation
Stanford School of Medicine
 

SESSION DESCRIPTION
This lecture will give an overview over Dr. Weinacht's research program. Participants will learn how lineage-specific metabolic checkpoint control can have opposing effects during hematopoiesis. We will gain insights into the developmental signals that govern thymic epithelial development and how we can leverage these signals to differentiate functional thymic epithelial cells from induced pluripotent stem cells in vitro.
 

EDUCATION GOALS
By the end of this session, attendess will understand:

• Lineage-specific metabolic check point control during hematopoiesis.
• The signals that drive thymic epithelial cell development.
• The therapeutic potential of in vitro-derived regenerative thymic tissues.
