About the speaker
The research of Professor Springer is focused on the areas of immunology, molecular cell biology, and biochemistry, specifically on the intracellular transport of membrane proteins of the immune system, and its regulation. A major focus in on the role of MHC cI and the factors that regulate its structure and cycling within cells. Further details can be found here.
