The University of California, San Diego School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The University of California, San Diego School of Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.Coffee & Seminar Schedule?: 09:00 AM - 09:30 AMCoffee and Conversation on the TerraceHost: Sanford Stem Cell Discovery CenterInfo: "Coffee and Conversation" will be held on the patio terrace for attendees. Attendees can grab coffee before the presentation and catch up with their colleagues.?: 09:30 AM - 10:30 AM Mechanisms of Tissue Adaptation and MaladaptationHost: Speaker: Shruti Naik, PhDInfo: Shruti received her B.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology from the University of Maryland, College Park. After that, she worked as a research assistant at the Naval Medical Research Center studying traumatic injury and autoimmune onset. Shruti then matriculated into the University of Pennsylvania-National Institutes of Health Graduate Partnership Program and obtained her Ph.D. in Immunology under the mentorship of Dr. Yasmine Belkaid and in collaboration with Dr. Julie Segre. During her doctoral studies, she discovered that normal bacteria living on our skin, known as the commensals, educate the immune system and help protect us from harmful pathogens. Her work has unveiled how immune cells in our skin work in conjunction with our microbial partners to prevent disease, and has opened the door for microbiota-based therapies in the skin. For her postdoctoral studies, Shruti joined the lab of Dr. Elaine Fuchs at the Rockefeller University as a Damon Runyon Cancer Research Fellow. ?: 10:30 AM - 10:45 AMQuestion & AnswersInfo: Q&A participation with the audience and Zoom attendees. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/la-jolla/ssci-seminar-series-mechanisms-of-tissue-adaptation-and-maladaptation/100001405438467289 - **Event Categories**: workshops, health-wellness, nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: La Jolla - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine, Duane Roth Auditorium (Off the second floor terrace, behind The Bella Espresso & Cocktail Lounge). - **lat**: 32.889514 - **long**: -117.244034 - **full address**: Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine, Duane Roth Auditorium (Off the second floor terrace, behind The Bella Espresso & Cocktail Lounge)., 2880 Torrey Pines Scenic Drive, La Jolla, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: SSCI Seminar Series: "Mechanisms of Tissue Adaptation and Maladaptation" - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/f2387642fca226c2ae0a8827d61cf0cddbf045f3418b25e4d3ed44e07828eb05-rimg-w1200-h600-dc172a48-gmir.jpg?v=1750439944 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is SSCI Seminar Series: "Mechanisms of Tissue Adaptation and Maladaptation" being held? - **A:** SSCI Seminar Series: "Mechanisms of Tissue Adaptation and Maladaptation" takes place on Thu, 24 Jul, 2025 at 09:30 am to Thu, 24 Jul, 2025 at 10:30 am at Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine, Duane Roth Auditorium (Off the second floor terrace, behind The Bella Espresso & Cocktail Lounge)., 2880 Torrey Pines Scenic Drive, La Jolla, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing SSCI Seminar Series: "Mechanisms of Tissue Adaptation and Maladaptation"? - **A:** SSCI Seminar Series: "Mechanisms of Tissue Adaptation and Maladaptation" is organized by Sanford Stem Cell Discovery Center. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "SSCI Seminar Series: "Mechanisms of Tissue Adaptation and Maladaptation"", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/f2387642fca226c2ae0a8827d61cf0cddbf045f3418b25e4d3ed44e07828eb05-rimg-w1200-h600-dc172a48-gmir.jpg?v=1750439944", "startDate": "2025-07-24", "endDate": "2025-07-24", "url": "https://allevents.in/la-jolla/ssci-seminar-series-mechanisms-of-tissue-adaptation-and-maladaptation/100001405438467289", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine, Duane Roth Auditorium (Off the second floor terrace, behind The Bella Espresso & Cocktail Lounge).", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "2880 Torrey Pines Scenic Drive", "postalCode": "92037", "addressLocality": "La Jolla", "addressRegion": "CA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "32.889514", "longitude": "-117.244034" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Shruti Naik, PhD, will speak on \"Mechanisms of Tissue Adaptation and Maladaptation.\"", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-08", "availabilityEnds": "2025-07-24", "validFrom": "2026-04-08", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/la-jolla/ssci-seminar-series-mechanisms-of-tissue-adaptation-and-maladaptation/100001405438467289" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-08", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-08", "url": "https://allevents.in/la-jolla/ssci-seminar-series-mechanisms-of-tissue-adaptation-and-maladaptation/100001405438467289", "price": 0, "name": "Virtual Zoom https://ucsd.zoom.us/j/95780022234" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-08", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-08", "url": "https://allevents.in/la-jolla/ssci-seminar-series-mechanisms-of-tissue-adaptation-and-maladaptation/100001405438467289", "price": 0, "name": "Sanford Consortium Terrace with 9 AM coffee" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Sanford Stem Cell Discovery Center", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/sanford-stem-cell-discovery-center/22585029", "description": "The Stem Cell Program has a new name.
