Funded Activity Summary

A molecular timer for inflammation and cell death. This project aims to improve our understanding of the timely function of the immune system. Most processes fundamental to life rely on the timely execution of cellular functions. One biological system in which timing is paramount is the immune system. Organismal health relies upon this front-line defence system for rapidly detecting invading microbes and inducing an appropriate, and timely, antimicrobial response to clear infection. We do not currently understand how immune responses are temporally coordinated. This proposal aims to address this key knowledge gap by characterising a novel molecular timer that dictates the co-ordinated timing of immune responses and immune cell death. These studies may yield fundamental insight into mammalian anti-microbial mechanisms.
