Episode Synopsis

Hey Science Nerds! This week's episode is with Dr. Koenig, an assistant professor in the Department of Health Sciences in the child health specialization at McMaster in 2015, and has recently received his PhD in the immunology of food allergies, focusing on the origin and roles of high affinity immunoglobulin E antibodies (IgE) under the supervision of Dr. Manel Jordana. Tune in to explore the history of food allergies, how Dr. Koenig delves into the intricacies of our body’s own superheroes (the adaptive immune system!) in this mechanism, and the role of undergrads in Dr. Koenig's lab.
