Design urbano para o sistema imunológico | Miguel Reina-Campos | TEDxSanDiegoSalon

As células imunes podem não conseguir controlar tumores, e corrigir apenas as células nem sempre resolve o problema. Miguel Reina-Campos, professor assistente no La Jolla Institute for Immunology, questiona se as estruturas dos tecidos pelas quais essas células se movem fazem parte do problema. A palestra analisa se redesenhar esse ambiente poderia ajudar as células imunes a cumprir seu papel. Foi apresentada em um evento TEDx organizado de forma independente por uma comunidade local.

• A falha das células imunes pode permitir o avanço de tumores
• Corrigir só as células nem sempre funciona
• O ambiente tecidual ao redor é examinado como fator

Would you be able to work in a broken, toxic environment? Your immune cells face a similar challenge. When immune cells fail, tumors can progress. But fixing the cells themselves doesn’t always work. Miguel Reina-Campos explores a different question: What if the problem isn’t just the cells, but the tissue structures they move through? Could redesigning that environment help immune cells do their job?

His lab studies how immune cells live and function inside tissues, with the goal of improving long-term protection against infections and cancer. He uses advanced technologies to map immune cells in tissue environments and understand how their location shapes immune defense. A biochemist by training, Dr. Reina-Campos obtained a B.Sc. from the Universitat de Barcelona, a M.Sc. from the Universitat Pompeu Fabra and the Scripps Research Institute, a Ph.D. in Biomedical Research at Sanford Burnham Prebys, and completed his Postdoctoral Fellowship in the laboratory of Dr. Goldrath at the University of California San Diego. Dr. Reina-Campos is a La Caixa Fellow, which is awarded by the King of Spain, and a Cancer Research Institute Fellow. Dr. Reina-Campos is the co-founder and board member of TCura Bioscience Inc.
