The Regulation of Immunity

Extract

Good afternoon, and thank you, Peter [Jensen], for the terrific introduction. As you all know, my talk is prerecorded, so I have no idea what Peter said. But I still thank you, Peter, and I look forward to getting together with you in the future. I want to offer a special thanks to Michele Hogan and the American Association of Immunologists (AAI) staff and the AAI Program Committee and its chair, Dave Masopust, for putting this meeting together, for creating all the features and events, and for working with all of you so that your presentations can be heard as well. I hope everybody will take advantage of the features and the presentations.

Each AAI President is asked to write a statement that appears in the AAI Newsletter at the beginning of their term. When I was thinking about mine, I was thinking about the great science being done in the field of immunology, from immune therapies to trying to understand the molecular basis of how immune cells were responding. Really, truly it was, and is, an amazing time in science.
