Funded Activity Summary

The immune system consists of two arms - innate and adaptive. Current vaccine strategies rely mainly on adaptive features of the immune system to mediate immunity against pathogens. Many pathogens have evolved sophisticated strategies to manipulate the adaptive immune system to render it ineffective. This project will investigate microbial detection by the innate immune system, and aims to discover novel, more effective strategies to mediate immunity against intracellular pathogens.
