*Alberto Mantovani*
*(Humanitas University, Milano )*
terrà un seminario dal titolo
- “**INNATE IMMUNITY AND INFLAMMATION: FROM CANCER TO COVID-19**”*
*abstract:*
The immune system is an extremely complex orchestra. The immune system and the central nervous system are the two most complex set of cells, connections and mediators in our body. Alterations of immunity and inflammation represent a metanarrative of modern medicine, spanning from infectious diseases to cardiovascular pathology to cancer.
Inflammatory cells and mediators are a key component of the tumor microenvironment. A change in paradigm and dissection of accelerators and brakes of immunity have spearheaded the birth of cancer immunotherapy. COVID-19 has highlighted how little we know of immunity to microbial challenges. As for cancer, a better understanding of the interaction of immunity with SARS-CoV-2 is likely to pave the way to new diagnostic and therapeutic tools.

terrà un seminario dal titolo
- “** Vaccines and monoclonals to regain our freedom **”*
*abstract:*
At the end of January 2020 the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention published the genomic sequence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and that first emerged in the Hubei province, China, in December 2019.
A year later the COVID-19 pandemic is registering a current world death toll of approximately 3 million and 117 million diagnosed cases and is hurling 21st century society into a deep socio-economic crisis. In this scenario and in an unprecedented and exceptional short development timespan, active immunization and passive immunization through vaccines and monoclonals, respectively, are proving to be the best weapons available to save lives, safeguard the economy, and regain our freedom.
