My research focuses on understanding the molecular regulation of blood cell production and function in health and disease with the ultimate goal of discovery of new treatments for blood cell diseases including leukaemia and autoimmunity.
I work on the molecular mechanisms of innate immunity. Priorities of my work are the immune response to pathogens such as viruses and bacteria and to cancer.
I am cellular immunologist determining the important host immune cell types and effector molecules that control tumour initiation, growth, and metastasis.
