“Mapping the interior: Examining epigenetic regulation of virus-specific T cell responses through different lenses”

Please join Prof Stephen Turner for this insightful presentation.

A light lunch will be served in the foyer following the presentation.

Professor Stephen Turner is an internationally recognised viral immunologist and Head of Microbiology at Monash University, where he also co-leads the Immunity Program at the Biomedical Discovery Institute. He earned his PhD at Monash under Professor Frank Carbone and completed postdoctoral training with Professor Janet Ruby and Nobel Laureate Professor Peter Doherty.

Professor Turner has received prestigious fellowships including the NHMRC Principal Research Fellowship, ARC Future Fellowship, and Pfizer Australia Senior Research Fellowship, and is a former President of both the Immunology Group of Victoria and the Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology. His research integrates structural biology, genomics, systems biology, cellular immunology and super-resolution microscopy to uncover how molecular and epigenetic factors shape T cell responses to viral infections. He has published over 190 publications and mentored more than 60 research students. He is frequently consulted by media, academia and government in areas of science policy, vaccines and viral immunity.
