Funded Activity Summary

The ageing of the population is one of the major transformations being experienced by Australia’s population which will have major health implications. Recent studies have shown that many elderly individuals display ‘immune risk phenotype’ (IRP) which is characterised by a severely distorted immune system and human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. In this project we will investigate the mechanisms by which CMV alters cellular immune system and thus impacts on the host immunity against other pathogens.
