Lauren Sompayrac, PhD
Dr. Lauren Sompayrac was born in Jacksonville. He attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and received a B.S. degree in physics in 1963, and a Ph.D. degree in elementary particle physics in 1969.
After two years of postdoctoral research in particle physics, he moved to Copenhagen where he was a Postdoctoral Fellow for two years at the Microbiology Institute.
Returning to the United States in 1973, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Pathology at the Harvard Medical School where he studied tumor viruses.
In 1976, he moved to the Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at the University of Colorado to continue his work on tumor viruses, eventually rising to the rank of Research Professor before his retirement in 1998.
In retirement, he writes science books, and is the author of How the Immune System Works, published by Blackwell Science in 1999.

How the Immune System Works has helped thousands of students understand what’s in their big, thick, immunology textbooks. In his book, Dr. Sompayrac cuts through the jargon and details to reveal, in simple language, the essence of this complex subject.
In fifteen easy-to-read chapters, featuring the humorous style and engaging analogies developed by Dr. Sompayrac, How the Immune System Works explains how the immune system players work together to protect us from disease – and, most importantly, why they do it this way.
Rigorously updated for this fifth edition, How the Immune System Works includes the latest information on subjects such as vaccines, the immunology of AIDS, and cancer. A highlight of this edition is a new chapter on the intestinal immune system – currently one of the hottest topics in immunology.
Whether you are completely new to immunology, or require a refresher, How the Immune System Works will provide you with a clear and engaging overview of this fascinating subject. But don’t take our word for it! Read what students have been saying about this classic book:
"What an exceptional book! It's clear you are in the hands of an expert."
"Possibly the Best Small Text of All Time!"

免疫学入门必读神作。
评分免疫学入门必读神作。
评分The first book, touched me, about medicine. From cluelessness, knowledge’s made through hypothesizes, tests, on animals and humans, and repeated failures with pain and wait. It’s humorously written, with respects to ‘Mother Nature.’ We learn how we were made, and cope with it. In the end, we’re Created, like other animals.
评分当作免疫科普囫囵吞枣看了一遍,虽然名词概念挺多的但行文生动很多可爱的比喻,大部分还比较好理解,感叹下免疫系统又庞杂又微妙有种光明和黑暗随时可以转变的感觉。 天然免疫简单又快又猛,巨噬细胞很全能但被欺骗了也很致命,适应性免疫针对性强激发比较慢还有各种条件制约(t, b细胞各种类型很多阶段好复杂)~ 印象最深的是免疫系统倾向于包容自身的抗原,造成对很多细胞癌变没有足够的警觉~
