Wednesday April 22- Aurora Rotary Program

               Presenter: David Woodland, Ph.D.  

 

David (Woody) Woodland received a B.Sc. in Biochemistry from the University of Bath, UK, in 1982 and a Ph.D. in immunology from the Max Planck Institute for Immunobiology, Freiberg, West Germany, in 1986.  After moving to the United States, he undertook post-doctoral studies at the National Jewish Center for Respiratory Medicine in Denver, CO, and then went on to establish an independent biomedical research program at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN.  His research subsequently took him to the Trudeau Institute in Saranac Lake, NY, where he served as the President and Executive Director. His studies focused on understanding the immune response to respiratory pathogens (such as influenza, parainfluenza, and tuberculosis) with a view to developing novel vaccine strategies.  He has published over 250 scientific papers in the field.
