Elucidating the mechanisms responsible for the generation of protective immunity in response to lung and gastrointestinal pathogens.There is an urgent need to develop new therapies that focus on augmenting host immunity. In this process, cells become more specialised and acquire potent effector functions that allow them to eliminate infectious organisms. Research interestsĬell differentiation is the process by which cells develop and mature. Our goal is to discover new therapies that boost our immune system to protect against infection. Understanding how the body deals with pathogens will give clues about how to enhance protective immunity. We are elucidating how different types of immune cells develop, and what factors influences their decision to become one type of immune cell or another. Our work aims to understand how the immune system responds to infections including viruses, bacteria and parasites.
