Novel mechanisms regulating B cell activation
Due to unforeseen circumstances this seminar has been cancelled. Apologies for any inconvenience caused
Bebhinn is Assistant Professor at the university of Toronto, Canada since 2011. Her current research investigates the potential for extracellular regulatory mechanisms for receptor organization, such as glycan-based domains generated by the binding of galectins to cell surface glycoproteins. The galectins are a family of lectins that can bind ?-galactoside on cell surface glycoproteins to form an extracellular molecular lattice. Her laboratory uses advanced optical microscopy techniques to explore how these cell-surface scaffolding proteins could modulate the interaction, function and turnover of immune cell glycoproteins.
