Tackling Lyme Disease with Immunity
isbscience.org/news/2021/07/22/tackling-lyme-disease-with-immunity/It’s Lyme disease season in many areas of the United States, including the Northeast, the Midwest, and some places on the West Coast. About 30,000 Lyme disease cases are reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention each year, but that number is likely far lower than the actual number of people diagnosed each year. Some estimates suggest that nearly 500,000 people get Lyme disease annually in the U.S. alone.
ISB Associate Professor Dr. Naeha Subramanian participated in ISB’s latest Research Roundtable event. Lyme disease is just one of the research areas studied by the Subramanian Lab. Subramanian delivered a presentation called “Tackling Lyme Disease with Immunity,” which you can watch here or by clicking play on the video at the top of this story.
Research Roundtables
ISB is hosting a series of Research Roundtable conversations throughout 2021 that will feature our leading scientists discussing their latest research. These events are designed for the novice scientist and the expert alike, and are open to anyone interested in the topics. Featured scientists will also answer your questions.
