Dr. Maxim Artyomov is a Full Professor in the Department of Pathology and Immunology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Before jouning WUSTL, he held a postdoctoral position at Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard. He obtained his MSc at the University of Chicago and his PhD at MIT. His laboratory aims to discover novel fundamental biology in the areas of immunometabolism, cancer immunology, and aging by using cross-disciplinary approaches to data generation and analysis, together with in vitro and in vivo experimental biology. In the Artyomov lab, classically trained immunologists and molecular biologists work hand-in-hand with computational biologists and computer scientists to leverage the power of high-throughput omics datasets. Collectively, this approach can be characterized as “systems immunology.” His work has H-index ~80 and over 37,000 citations.
Understanding Immune Aging
In this talk, we will focus on T cell aging in mice and humans, including GZMK+CD8 T cells, type 2 memory T cells and other subpopulations.
