The Future of Immunity - Robin May
Manage episode 495898157 series 3428921
Our understanding of the human immune system today is vastly different from that of 50 years ago. This knowledge has led to immune-based therapies that would have seemed like science fiction to our grandparents: monoclonal antibodies, T-cell therapies, anti-cancer vaccines, precision immune suppression – the list is endless. In this lecture, we look to the future and ask, “What next for immunity?”
This lecture was recorded by Robin May on the 11th of June 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.
Robin is Gresham Professor of Physic.
He is also Chief Scientific Adviser at the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Professor of Infectious Disease at the University of Birmingham.
The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/future-immunity
