Princeton's Cristea to Present Annual Khoury Lecture
Dr. Ileana Cristea of Princeton University will deliver the annual George Khoury Lecture on May 14 at 2:00 p.m. ET. Titled, “The Virus Microenvironment in 2D and 3D,” the lecture will be held in the Lipsett Amphitheater, Bldg. 10 and online at https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=55036.
Cristea is the Henry L. Hillman Professor of Molecular Biology and director of graduate studies at Princeton. Her research is at the interface between virology and proteomics. Her lab has developed proteomics-based strategies to investigate how viral infections alter cellular processes, with a focus on host-pathogen interactions, immune response mechanisms and organelle remodeling. Her work integrates both targeted and large-scale approaches to map dynamic protein interactions and regulatory pathways throughout the course of infection.
This lecture, part of the Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series (WALS), honors the memory of the late George Khoury, past chief of the NCI Laboratory of Molecular Virology, who was highly regarded as a superb scientist and caring mentor.
Continuing Medical Education credits will be available. More information about the WALS is posted at https://oir.nih.gov/wals.
