As part of the event showcasing groundbreaking findings supported by the Bolyai János Research Fellowship, Máté Manczinger delivered a presentation titled „The Role of Immunological Similarity in Pathogen Immune Evasion.”
The research delves into the critical function of the immune system in distinguishing harmful from harmless entities. The Systems Immunology Research Group explored how pathogens might exploit the phenomenon where the immune system struggles to recognize proteins that deviate significantly from the body’s own. The presentation raised intriguing questions about whether pathogens accumulate mutations to make their proteins even more distinct, thereby evading immune detection.
This presentation is a testament to the impactful research being carried out with the support of the Bolyai János Research Fellowship, underscoring its role in advancing scientific excellence.”
