Core Conversations: MEF2C and the Immune System with Dr. Tim O'Sullivan

In today’s episode, we are joined by Dr. Tim O’Sullivan, a immunologist at UCLA, as well as his graduate student Cassidy Lee. Dr. O’Sullivan and Cassidy join us to discuss the emerging research on MEF2C’s role in immune function. Subjects covered include:

MEF2C’s role in natural killer (NK) cell function
How MEF2C may affect lipid metabolism and, therefore, immune function
Oleic acid as a potential treatment for MEF2C-related immune deficiency
The current landscape of scientific funding and why you should care
The importance of scientific curiosity and how it can lead to unexpected discoveries

And so much more!
