Serotonin is widely known as the “happiness hormone” of our brains that is responsible for our good mood. And the immune system is known to attack the dangerous invaders and protect the body from harm. But do we know that serotonin and the immune system have a dark side, as they can induce and promote cancers? This event will be interactive and informative with a participant quiz to start, The Chair Professor Paul Murray will introduce the panel members, Dr Jeremiah Stanley and Dr Aisling Ross, and give a brief overview of his expertise on Epstein Barr virus induced lymphomas. This will be followed by lectures by the panel members on serotonin’s role in viral and cancer pathogenesis, and anti-tumoral immune responses. Dr Stanley and Dr Ross will present the findings of their research work conducted in Bernal biolabs at UL, intriguing the audience about the methods used and findings. This will be followed by a Q & A session.
