Funded Activity Summary

Dr Lieschke studies white blood cell function and diseases. His biomedical research uses zebrafish animal models of human white blood cell diseases and he is an international expert on their blood and immune systems. His current research aims to understand what goes wrong in diseases when there are too many white blood cells (as in leukaemia), or too few (as in some hereditary diseases), and to develop new therapies for controlling inflammatory and infective diseases.
