The immune follicle organoids communicate dynamically with B and T cells and regulate the immune response. Using engineering principles, they study cellular and biophysical crosstalk among lymphoid tissues with immune cells, their tumors. The lab investigates the decision-making in immune cells at the cellular, molecular, and epigenetic levels to protect from infections, cancer, and inflammation. The Singh lab studies the effect of metabolic syndrome on bioengineered vaccines and develops immuno-modulatory nanomaterials to modulate microbiome and immune cells in metabolic disorders.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cem\u003EThe IBB Breakfast Club Seminar Series was started with the spirit of the Institute\u0027s interdisciplinary mission in mind to feature local IBB faculty member\u0027s research in a seminar format. Faculty are often asked to speak at other universities and conferences, but do not often present at their home institution - this seminar series is an attempt to close that gap. IBB Breakfast Club Seminars are open to anyone in the bio-community.\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAnkur Singh, Ph.D. - Georgia Tech \/ Emory University\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Building Ex Vivo Immune Competent Tissues For Discovery and Translation\u0022, Ankur Singh, Ph.D. - Georgia Tech \/ Emory University"}],"uid":"27195","created_gmt":"2023-06-21 16:30:29","changed_gmt":"2023-09-28 15:36:04","author":"Colly Mitchell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2023-10-31T08:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2023-10-31T09:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2023-10-31T09:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2023-10-31 12:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2023-10-31 13:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2023-10-31 13:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Petit Biotech Building, 315 Ferst Drive, NW, Suddath Seminar Room 1128, Atlanta, GA 30332","extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/research.gatech.edu\/bio\/events\/breakfast-club","title":"2023-2024 IBB Breakfast Club Seminar Series Schedule"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
