UNIVERSITY LECTURE Host Defense: Mechanisms and Pathways Ruslan Medzhitov, Ph.D. Professor, Howards Hughes Investigator, National Academy of Sciences Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT Professor Medzhitov is the David W. Wallace Professor of Immunobiology at Yale and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator. Dr. Medzhitov is a pioneering researcher in the field of the innate immune system and along with Dr. Charles Janeway made the groundbreaking discovery that Toll-like receptors, a component of the innate system, provide the adaptive system with the necessary information to create custom-made B and T cells that target specific bacterial or viral invaders. Dr. Medzhitov’s lab is continuing to investigate the role of Toll-like receptors in how the innate immune system controls the adaptive system – particularly their role in autoimmune disorders, inflammation and allergy – with the goal of developing new strategies for vaccine design. In recognition of his prolific contributions to the field of immunological research, in 2010 Dr. Medzhitov was elected to the National Academy of Sciences and was awarded the prestigious Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Science.
