Funded Activity Summary

Cellular Organisation of Protective Immune Responses. Our immune system consists of a task force of white blood cells that coordinate to defeat invading pathogens. Research has revealed a cell receptor, CXCR3, controls immune cell interactions, which determine immune control and protection during initial cell activation and viral infection. This project will use a multi-disciplinary approach combining viral immunology, unique mouse models, advanced imaging, and bioinformatic analyses to dissect the cellular conversations that underpin immune protection. Revealing the mechanisms of cellular interactions during an immune response will have a major impact on development of targeted vaccines, and therapeutics (particularly for chronic infections and cancer), which are major health burdens.
