Summary
This work will study the role of a type of protein in white blood cell movement into tissues, a process called inflammation. The outcome of this work may lead to the development of molecules which control this movement of white blood cells more specifically than existing therapeutics. Such inhibitors would potentially be useful as anti-inflammatory agents in a range of human diseases.
