Professor Jacques Robert of the University of Rochester visited South China Agricultural University

Recently, at the invitation of Professor Qin Qiwei, Dean of Oceanographic College, Professor Jacques Robert, University of Rochester, visited the Oceanographic College of South China Agricultural University and made a presentation entitled Roles of innate and innate-like immune cells in host defenses against ranaviruses. The paper systematically introduces the mechanism of congenital and acquired immune system of Xenopus laevis responding to virus, the way of Xenopus laevis infecting brain, the function of a congenital immune cell in Xenopus laevis in virus infection and the research of recombinant attenuated frog virus.

Professor Jacques Robert, Professor, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Rochester Medical Center, USA. At present, Professor Robert mainly uses frog Xenopus laevis as animal model to study the co-evolution relationship between selective molecules (such as heat shock protein, NK cell receptor, atypical Ib molecule, etc.) and the role of these molecules in anti-cancer and viral infection in congenital or adaptive immune response. Professor Robert is an internationally renowned expert in amphibian immunology. He has made a series of original achievements in the composition, phylogenesis and immune defense mechanism of the immune system of amphibians. He has published international works such as Immunol Invest, Carcinogenesis, J Immunol, PNAS, Immunogenetics, Virology, Viruses, Sci Rep, etc. Famous academic journals and periodicals published nearly 100 academic papers, published monographs or wrote more than 50 monographs, and were invited to give nearly 100 academic reports at international academic conferences, which enjoyed high academic prestige in the world.
