Guest Speaker
Ananda W. Goldrath, Ph.D., Professor, Molecular Biology, Division of Biological Sciences, University of California, San Diego

Dr. Ananda Goldrath is a Professor in the Molecular Biology Section in the Division of Biology at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). In 2011 Ananda was named a Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Scholar, and in 2007 she was named a Pew Scholar. She is also a recipient of the Cancer Research Institute New Investigator Award, V Scholar Award and the Julia Brown Faculty Fellowship.
The goal of her research is to understand how CD8+ T cell immunological memory is generated and maintained by identifying the transcriptional and signaling events that regulate the survival and differentiation of T cells as they navigate the immune response and become long-lived memory T cells.

Facilitator
-Masatoshi Hagiwara, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University/ Director of Kyoto University Research Center San Diego
-J. Silvio Gutkind, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Pharmacology and Associate Director of the Moores Cancer Center
