About this event

Join us on October 19, 2022, for “Aging, Immunity and COVID-19” by Janko Nikolich-Žugich, MD, PhD, Bowman Professor and Department Head, Immunobiology. This is a hybrid in-person and virtual event.

In this lecture, Dr. Nikolich-Žugich will discuss what the immune system is, what it does, how it ages, and his own research in overcoming age-related immune decline. He will also address the immune response in COVID and Long COVID.

Janko Nikolich-Žugich, M.D., Ph.D., is Bowman Professor and Head, Department of Immunobiology; Director, Aegis Consortium for Pandemic-Free Future; and Co-Director, Arizona Center on Aging at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, Tucson, Arizona.

Dr. Nikolich-Žugich is internationally recognized as a leading immunologist and gerontologist. He is Fellow of the Gerontological Society of America and of the American Aging Association. He investigates, in mouse and human models: (i) basic mechanisms of immunity and how these mechanisms decline and deteriorate with age to erode protective immunity against infection; (ii) how persistent infections such as cytomegalovirus (CMV) modulate immunity and healthspan with aging; (iii) how we can devise methods to correct or ameliorate immune dysfunction by means of new vaccines, immunomodulatory and metabolic intervention and/or immune rejuvenation; and (iv) whether and how different longevity extension treatments can improve function of the immune system while still providing longevity/healthspan benefit. He has published more than 180 papers and obtained over $73M in funding from the National Institutes of Health.

This free public lecture is open to the public. Register by October 18, 2022.
