Speakers
Wendy Garrett
Irene Heinz Given Professor of Immunology and Infectious DiseasesHarvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Dr. Garrett studies how the gut immune system interacts with the intestinal microbiota in health, IBD and colorectal cancer. Her work focuses on how microbial communities shape innate and adaptive immunity and how disruptions in these communities drive inflammation and tumor development. Because her research also examines how microbial and immune signals travel along the oral-gut axis, it aligns closely with the themes of the Oral-Gut Conference.
Lakmali M. Silva
Ph.D
Investigates how inflammatory pathways within the periodontal microenvironment drive tissue destruction, building on pioneering discoveries of a fibrin-neutrophil axis and advancing translational insight into oral immune regulation at HSDM.
Matteo lannacone
M.D, Ph.D
He has made key contributions to our understanding of adaptive immune responses against pathogens and tumors through the use of cutting-edge in vivo imaging, single-cell technologies, and advanced animal models. His work reveals important insights into immune cell dynamics and the regulation of protective and pathological immune responses.
