讲座题目：Molecular Mechanisms of Helicobacter Pylori-mediated Gastric Cancer
Dr. Sundberg received his Ph.D. in Biological Science at Northwestern University in 1999. Upon completion of his Ph.D., Dr. Sundberg became a postdoctoral fellow supported by an Arthritis Foundation fellowship in Dr. Roy A. Mariuzza’s laboratory at the Center for Advanced Research in Biotechnology-University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute. He was promoted to Assistant Professor non-Tenure Track three years later and was awarded his first NIH grant shortly thereafter. In 2004, Dr. Sundberg joined the faculty of the Boston Biomedical Research Institute (BBRI) as a Scientist (Tenure-Track Assistant Professor equivalent). He was promoted to Principal Scientist (Associate Professor equivalent) in 2009. In 2011, he moved his laboratory to the Institute of Human Virology and Departments of Medicine and of Microbiology & Immunology at the University of Maryland, School of Medicine in Baltimore, where he is an Associate Professor with Tenure. He is also Associate Director of the Institute of Human Virology and Co-Director of its Basic Science Division.
Dr. Sundberg’s primary research interests include: antibody effector functions; innate immune signaling; microbial oncogenesis; and bacterial pathogenesis. By using combinational tools of structural biology, molecular biophysics and protein engineering, Dr. Sundberg’s team aims to define the molecular bases of infectious diseases, to develop novel protein- and peptide-based therapeutics, and to better understand protein molecular recognition.
