To Immunity and Beyond<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The CDTRP is pleased to present a 13-part webinar series designed to disseminate CIHR-funded immunology research, foster knowledge exchange, and strengthen collaboration across Canada\u2019s immunity, donation, and transplantation communities. A national virtual series disseminating cutting-edge immunology research at the intersection of immunity, infection, organ donation, and transplantation.<\/h5>\n
The series includes\u00a0two primer webinars\u00a0on foundational immunology topics for non-specialists (offered bilingually), alongside eleven main scientific webinars\u00a0pairing mid- to late-career investigators with trainees or showcasing early-career researchers.<\/h5>\n<\/div>

\n
\n
Esm\u00e9 Dijke is Director of the clinical histocompatibility laboratory at the University of Alberta Hospital and Assistant Professor in the Department of Laboratory Medicine & Pathology at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta. Her research focuses on the potential of discarded human thymus as a novel source of clinical-grade, stable regulatory T cells (Tregs) for adoptive cell immunotherapy in transplantation and autoimmunity. When she is not working, she enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband, two boys and Bernedoodle.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
