Summary
Inflammation-driven diseases such as atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and cancer, are associated with deregulated cell death and are among the fastest growing chronic conditions in Australia. This research will determine the role of a recycles process called autophagy in regulating the immune response to different forms of cell death, thereby identifying new targets amenable to therapeutic intervention of these diseases.
