The first seminar of the 2026 CIDMI Seminar Series featuring guest speakers Joy Okoro, CIDMI Seed Grant 2025 Awardee, and Dr. Joel Ernst, Professor at DEM, was a wonderful success.

  • Joy OkoroSpatial Transcriptomic Mapping of CMV-Mediated TB Susceptibility in the Mouse Lung

  • Dr. Joel ErnstUnderstanding TB Immunity: One Movie Is Worth 1,000 Pictures

The seminar highlighted innovative approaches to understanding tuberculosis immunity and host–pathogen interactions, and the audience greatly appreciated the insights shared by both speakers.
