The next Distinguished Scientist Seminar at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine will feature Dr. Troy Randall, J. Claude Bennett Professor of Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The lecture, titled "Local Immunity to Tumors and other Antigens in the Peritoneal Cavity," will take place Feb. 28, 2013, at 4 p.m. in the Medical Sciences Building auditorium on USA's main campus.
Dr. Randall earned his bachelor of science degree in chemistry at the University of Denver and his Ph.D. in microbiology and immunology at Duke University in Durham, N.C. In addition, he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University.
Dr. Randall's lab is focused on pulmonary immunity to viruses, tumors and allergens; peritoneal immunity to tumors and commensal organisms; control of CD8 T cell responses to viruses and tumors; and local control of autoimmune/inflammatory T and B cell responses.
