Ep. 128: “Lymphatic Immunobiology” Featuring Dr. Amanda Lund

About this episode

Dr. Amanda Lund discusses the dynamic role of lymphatic vasculature in regulating immune responses and its implications in infection and cancer.

Guest: Dr. Amanda Lund is an Associate Professor at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. She discusses how the lymphatic vasculature serves as a critical and dynamic interface between tissues and the immune system, challenging the traditional view of lymphatics as passive conduits. She highlights how lymphatic vessels actively regulate immune responses by controlling fluid flow, antigen transport, and cell migration during infection and cancer, and explores their emerging roles in shaping immunity and tissue biology.
