DESCRIPTION:Friday 6 February\, 13:00 - 14:00\n\nSpeaker: Professor Clare 
 Bryant\, Departments of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine\, University of C
 ambridge\n\nTalk Title: Pattern Recognition Receptor signalling in infecti
 on and sterile inflammation\n\nBiography: Clare Bryant is Professor of Inn
 ate Immunity at the Departments of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine in the
  University of Cambridge.  She studies innate immune cell signalling in re
 sponse to Pathogen Associated Molecular Pattern Receptor (PRR) activation 
 during bacterial infection using cutting edge multi-disciplinary approache
 s (collaborating with mathematicians\, physicists\, physical chemists and 
 structural biologists) to answer fundamental questions about host-pathogen
  interactions and how to modify them therapeutically.  She also applies th
 ese innovative approaches to study PRR-induced inflammatory signalling in 
 chronic diseases of humans and animals.  In particularly her work using su
 per resolution and single molecule fluorescent imaging approaches to study
  Toll-like receptor and NOD-like receptor signalling within cells have rev
 ealed novel mechanisms in how these receptors signal.  She has been on sec
 ondments in Genentech and GSK\, has extensive collaborations with many pha
 rmaceutical companies\, is on the scientific advisory board of several bio
 tech companies\, has a drug discovery project with Apollo Therapeutics and
  helped found the natural product company Polypharmakos.  During the COVID
 -19 pandemic she founded\, and still runs\, the Inflammazoom international
  on line seminar series.  She was elected as a Fellow of the British Pharm
 acology Society (2018)\, Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology (2
 023)\, The Learned Society of Wales (2023) and the Academy of Medical Scie
 nces (2025).
