Biography: Mariano Maio is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Biomedical Research on Retroviruses and AIDS (INBIRS, UBA-CONICET) in Argentina. He specialises in elucidating the metabolic changes that immune cells undergo during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, and the effect this has on their function. More recently, he set up a research initiative to investigate the role of stem-like memory T cells during BCG immunisation, and to explore ways of enhancing this population through nutritional therapy to improve long-term BCG protection.
