Speaker

Dr. Marlies Meisel is an Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh, where her research focuses on the complex interactions between gut microbes and the host immune system in health, cancer, and autoimmunity.

Following her PhD in Austria studying T cell autoimmunity, her postdoctoral work at the University of Chicago uncovered mechanisms by which microbes influence intestinal inflammation and cancer development.

Her current lab investigates how the gut microbiota modulates tumor immunity, while also exploring the modulation of gut metabolites through diet and exercise to impact systemic immunity in the context of cancer.
