Dr. George T. Diaz Interview
No full textDr. George T. Diaz (Ph.D. 2010) was interviewed by Jonathan Angulo via the Zoom internet-based video conferencing software on July 2, 2020. Both of his parents worked for the Laredo Independent School District as educators which afforded him a middle-class lifestyle. He attended schools in the north side of town which were regarded as better than those in the south. After graduating, he decided to attend Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) because it was close to home. Diaz enjoyed his experience at TAMIU and earned a bachelor's and master's degree there. Dr. Diaz was in contact with Jose Ramirez (a Ph.D. student at SMU), who convinced him to apply to the university. During his interview, Dr. Diaz talks about his hardships taking classes and how life changed once he became a Ph.D. candidate. He also discusses his involvement with the SMU Catholic Center, where he interacted with undergraduate students. Diaz received his Ph.D. in History in 2010 and became an adjunct professor at Laredo Community College. From there, he took a positions South Texas College, and then at Sam Houston State, where he was the only ethnic Mexican in the college of liberal arts. Today, he teaches at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, has published his first book, and continues to conduct academic research

Heterogeneous and tissue-specific regulation of effector T cell responses by IFN-gamma during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.
Full text linkIFN-γ and T cells are both required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection. Surprisingly, however, the role of IFN-γ in shaping the effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during this infection has not been examined in detail. To address this, we have compared the effector T cell responses in wild-type and IFN-γ(-/-) mice during P. berghei ANKA infection. The expansion of splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells during P. berghei ANKA infection was unaffected by the absence of IFN-γ, but the contraction phase of the T cell response was significantly attenuated. Splenic T cell activation and effector function were essentially normal in IFN-γ(-/-) mice; however, the migration to, and accumulation of, effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the lung, liver, and brain was altered in IFN-γ(-/-) mice. Interestingly, activation and accumulation of T cells in various nonlymphoid organs was differently affected by lack of IFN-γ, suggesting that IFN-γ influences T cell effector function to varying levels in different anatomical locations. Importantly, control of splenic T cell numbers during P. berghei ANKA infection depended on active IFN-γ-dependent environmental signals--leading to T cell apoptosis--rather than upon intrinsic alterations in T cell programming. To our knowledge, this is the first study to fully investigate the role of IFN-γ in modulating T cell function during P. berghei ANKA infection and reveals that IFN-γ is required for efficient contraction of the pool of activated T cells

No full textCurrent treatments for cancer have been successful in decreasing the size of the tumors and prolonging life, but often do not result in long-term remission. A promising new type of therapy uses a patient’s blood or tumor tissue to help their immune system fight cancer. Chimeric antigen receptors provide antigen-binding and T-cell activating functions which strengthen the immune system and selectively target the patient’s tumor. New research has investigated the use of CAR-T cell-derived exosomes in the treatment of cancer in the hope of more effective oncolytic properties and lasting remissions. The specific hypothesis of the current project is that CAR-T exosomes transfer RNA to cancer cells
