This series of talks is primarily targeted at faculty, staff and students working in quantitative fields who are interested in learning more about immunology and immunology assay platforms, but all are welcome.
The lecture format will be informal, and typically consist of discussing or answering questions relating to immunology figures or whiteboard sketches of immune processes or assays.
Upcoming Seminar Details:
Title: Optimal Selection of Antibody Combinations based on ADCC Luciferase Assay Output
Speaker: Justin Liu
Date and Time: Wednesday, January 8, 2025 at Noon
Justin is currently working as a research technician in the lab of Dr. Guido Ferrari at Duke University Department of Surgery. He completed his bachelor’s degree in Genetics in 2022 at UC Irvine and master’s degree in Biostatistics in 2024 at Duke University. Justin’s current interest lies in the field of Immunology. He wishes to explore different ways to incorporate quantitative methods in translational research in the future.
