Dr Taraballi will talk about her immunoengineered approaches for translational medicine.
Immunoengineering is an emerging interdisciplinary field that combines principles from immunology and engineering to develop innovative strategies for modulating the immune system. The immune system plays a vital role in defending the body against pathogens and diseases, and its dysfunction can lead to various health conditions. Immunoengineering aims to harness the power of engineering approaches to understand, manipulate, and enhance immune responses.
Dr Taraballi’s application of immunoengineering extends to diverse areas such as regenerative therapy, cancer immunotherapy, infectious disease prevention, and vaccine development. By leveraging engineering tools, researchers can optimize immune responses, improve therapeutic efficacy, and minimize adverse effects. Additionally, immunoengineering offers the potential for personalized medicine by tailoring immune-based interventions to individual patients based on their unique immune profiles.
