"How Our Bodies Fight Infection: The Basics of Molecular Immunology," Amy Andreotti, ISU biochemistry, biophysics and molecular biology. Her research is in molecular immunology, specifically how the principles of physics can be used to understand the 3-dimensional shapes of those molecules that control our immune response.

Andreotti's team is looking at how molecules change in the context of diseases such as autoimmune disorders or viral infections with the hope of improving their treatment. Andreotti earned a PhD in chemistry at Princeton University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University. College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean's Lecture Series.
