Vernon Cottage (Depot Campus)
Our immune systems protect us against infectious diseases, parasites, and cancer. For these benefits, our bodies may pay a cost in the form of auto-immune diseases, allergies, inflammation, and aging. The speaker’s research group uses a small fish, the three-spine stickleback, and its tapeworm parasite to understand how evolution fine-tunes the balance between these benefits and costs.
