Outsmarting Autoimmune Disease

Life Without Disease Event Series Featuring Sam Meyers Ph.D.

If we want to control how immune cells behave, we first need to understand how they “think” and “make decisions.” Learn how LJI’s Global Autoimmune Institute Assistant Professor Sam Myers, Ph.D., uses mass spectrometry and proteomics to uncover how immune cells make decisions—and what goes wrong in autoimmune, inflammatory, and other diseases.

COVID-19 Research at La Jolla Institute

Capitalizing on their unique skills in immunology and infectious disease, La Jolla Institute scientists have launched a multi-lab Coronavirus Taskforce to respond to the ongoing crisis and prepare for future emerging diseases.

Live from the Lab

During the September 26, 2024 Live from the Lab webinar, La Jolla Institute for Immunology President and Chief Executive Officer Erica Ollmann Saphire, Ph.D., MBA, alongside LJI Postdoctoral Fellows Dawid Zyla, Ph.D., and Marissa Acciani, Ph.D., discussed their measles research progress. The presentation focused on how cutting-edge cryo-electron microscopy and antibody discovery are revolutionizing the fight against measles and other deadly viruses. The research showcased during this session revealed how scientists at LJI are developing new therapeutics to stop emerging diseases in their tracks, offering hope for improved vaccines and treatments.

Visionaries

The Visionaries, an award-winning public television series hosted by Sam Waterston has recently launched its 24th season which includes a half-hour documentary film entitled, Life Without Disease. The film showcases the critical work of La Jolla Institute for Immunology scientists working on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
