Esther Borges Florsheim will be discussing her research at this CEMinar. Dr. Florsheim is an immunologist with core interests in how immunological defenses promote fitness and organismal survival. She studies allergies, mast cell biology and neuro-immune interactions at the gastrointestinal tract to determine the impact of the immune system in physiology.

As a principal investigator, Dr. Florsheim aims to: a) transform the immunology field through a multidisciplinary approach, b) motivate the next generation of scientists interested in discovering the yet unsolved immunological mysteries, c) create an equal world in STEM.
