The intestinal tract is a mix of cells, including immune cells that balance tolerance and activation. Single-cell RNA-sequencing identified > 20 immune cell types in the porcine intestine, in addition to > 10 enterocyte populations. Spatial transcriptomics aided in identification of gene expression in a tissue region, including cycling B cell presence in porcine ileal Peyer’s patch follicles, but not the crypt or villus. Cell function is best delineated at high resolution, though limitations exist.
Dr. Loving is a swine immunologist leading a research program focused on enhancing disease resilience and limiting colonization by foodborne pathogens. She uses cutting-edge approaches to characterize novel cell types in the intestine and interrogate intestinal immunity under different conditions.
Moderation: Professorin Dr. Anca Dorhoi

Organizational information
The Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg is offering this event only live as a zoom meeting in which viewers can participate in writing via chat.
- We would be pleased if you provided your clear name when dialing into Zoom. Of course, you can also take part in the event under a pseudonym.
- A list of all participants can be viewed by all those involved throughout the event.
- During the lecture, the microphones of the spectators are all automatically muted so that no disturbing background noise is generated. You are welcome to turn on the camera of the spectators during the lecture.
- During the entire event, requests to speak or questions can be asked in writing in the chat.
Recording of the digital lecture
The digital lecture will be recorded for use in the college's media library. Only the speaker, his/her presentation and the moderator will be heard or seen in the recording. Video, audio or chat contributions are not recorded. A "REC" sign at the edge of the picture informs the participants.
