Lydia Lynch
Lydia Lynch, immunologist, studies the effects of obesity and diet on immune cell functions. She was named a 2009 Fellow of the L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Award, and she directs the Lynch Lab at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Biography Lydia Lynch received her B.Sc. degree in Cell Biology and Genetics from University College Dublin, Ireland. She went on to earn her PhD in Immunology in 2008 from the same university after working in the lab of Cliona O’Farrelly in St. Vincent’s University Hospital. She worked with Donal O’Shea at St. Vincent’s University Hospital in Dublin for her post-doctoral studies and helped establish the Immunology and Obesity Lab, with the goal of coordinating international, collaborative, translational research in obesity and its complications. For that work, she received a Newman Fellowship, followed by a L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Fellowship in 2009, and she moved to Harvard Medical School in Boston to study iNKT cells in ...

Allergy
Allergies, also known as allergic diseases, refer a number of conditions caused by the hypersensitivity of the immune system to typically harmless substances in the environment. These diseases include Allergic rhinitis, hay fever, Food allergy, food allergies, atopic dermatitis, allergic asthma, and anaphylaxis. Symptoms may include allergic conjunctivitis, red eyes, an itchy rash, sneeze, sneezing, coughing, a rhinorrhea, runny nose, shortness of breath, or swelling. Note: food intolerances and food poisoning are separate conditions. Common allergens include pollen and certain foods. Metals and other substances may also cause such problems. Food, insect stings, and medications are common causes of severe reactions. Their development is due to both genetic and environmental factors. The underlying mechanism involves immunoglobulin E antibodies (IgE), part of the body's immune system, binding to an allergen and then to FcεRI, a receptor on mast cells or basophils where it tri ...

Immunology measures, uses charts and differentiate in context in medicine the studies of immunity on cell and molecular level, and the immune system as part of the physiological level as its functioning is of major importance.

Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar yea ...

Cliona O’Farrelly
Cliona O’Farrelly is an Irish immunologist, with a background in comparative, liver and cancer immunology, focuses on the innate immune response to viruses to identify new or improved therapeutic strategies to control resistance to viral infection. Biography As a child living in Adare, County Limerick, Ireland, O’Farrelly hoped to study architecture at Trinity College, but because that major wasn't offered at the College, chose science instead and earned her BS and PhD in immunology. There, she was once taught by physicist and Nobel laureate Ernest Walton. After her studies, she spent almost three years as a lecturer and researcher at Harvard University followed by three years at Trinity College Dublin. In 1993, she began working at University College Dublin’s St. Vincent’s University Hospital (SVUH) where she directed research (such as with Christine Loscher) and supervised the PhD studies of immunologist Lydia Lynch, among others. In 2007, O’Farrelly joined the ...
