Funded Activity Summary

The aim of this project is to utilise novel mouse models and imaging techniques to unravel the role of an immune cell called neutrophil in controlling immune responses. We show that as the first cell to leave the site of bacterial infection neutrophils can orchestrate subsequent activation of other immune cells. We plan to investigate the mechanisms and consequences of this process with a view to uncover new neutrophil-based therapeutic strategies that would improve the management of inflammatory diseases.
