Funded Activity Summary

Defining the mechanisms of tissue-resident memory T cell development. We have recently identified a subset of T cells that reside at points of pathogen entry where they can effectively control infection. The ability of these T cells to offer local immunity has caused a paradigm shift in our view of how T cells protect against infection, drastically changing the way we think about designing T cell vaccines. This project aims to characterise this novel T cell subset, defining the fundamental requirements for their formation and maintenance. This will lead to a greater understanding of their biology, which will be of significance for the development of novel vaccination strategies.
