Funded Activity Summary

Epigenetic regulation of immune memory. Immune memory cells emerge from the dynamic and transient immune response to deliver two critical abilities: to produce rapid recall responses upon reinfection but also to persist for decades. This project aims to define how the polycomb repressive complexes regulate immune cell fate, by utilising cutting-edge cell and chromatin biology techniques coupled with bioinformatic pipelines. Expected outcomes of the proposed research include key insights into epigenetic programming required for immune cell differentiation and longevity. This should provide significant benefits such as knowledge creation that may lead to development of technology that reprograms cell behaviour, and contribution to Australian research recognition and capacity.
