WAS involves immunodeficiency, thrombocytopenia, severe eczema, and multiple forms of autoimmunity. The most common of the latter is autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). Our lab has shown an increased rate of platelet consumption in WASP(-) mice, and similar observations have been made in clinical WAS. We also have evidence that antiplatelet antibodies contribute to the thrombocytopenia. Yet several labs have demonstrated that WASP deficient macrophages show impaired phagocytosis.
One would expect the latter to impair the in vivo development of autoimmune syndromes such as AIHA, but it apparently does not. How can these findings be reconciled?
IMM OPENS ITS DOORS FOR PhD CANDIDATES ON MAY 14
Are you interested in Science?
Are you planning on doing a PhD?
Are you curious about how cells work? How disease develops and progresses?
Would you like to know more about the molecular basis of medicine? And how it translates to the clinic?
The Instituto de Medicina Molecular, IMM, is looking for highly motivated students to pursuit a PhD Project. We welcome all interested candidates to visit us on May 14, 2010.
Provisional programme: 10:00 – 10:15 Welcome
10:15 – 10:45 The IMM PhD Programme
10:45 – 11:30 Research at IMM (Talks from Principal Investigators)
11:30 – 11:45 Questions and Answers Session
11:45 – 12:15 Guided Tour (Organized by the PhD Students Commission)
12:15 – 13:15 Light Lunch
To participate please register here until May 6 (registration is mandatory; event
limited to 50 participants)

Seminar: "LFA1 integrin,a key modulator of T cell crawling on HEVs, T-DC interactions and effector/memory commitment during LCMV infection" dia 20 de Maio (das 12h00 às 13:00) Edifício Egas Moniz - Piso 01 - Sala57
António Peixoto
Harvard Medical School (Boston, MA)
Convidado: Henrique Veiga Fernandes
António Peixoto did his PhD work with Benedita Rocha at the Necker Institute, in Paris, where he characterised the patterns of lymphocyte differentiation during in vivo immune responses at a single cell level. Currently he is a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard Medical School (Boston, MA) in the laboratory of Ulrich H. von Andrian. Using two photon intravital microscopy, he has focused his interests on the mechanisms that regulate the interaction, the timing and the nature of signals that are exchanged between lymphocytes and antigen presenting cells in vivo.
