Funded Activity Summary

Human health depends upon the development of an immune system that can effectively control infection without damaging normal tissue. In this project, we assess a new paradigm by which immune cell development might be controlled, in which an immune cell precursor divides in such a way that its two daughters inherit different molecular constitutents that subsequently regulate the adoption of different cell fate. The likely consequences of this phenomonon on immunity and cancer will be explored.
