Funded Activity Summary

The formation and actions of white blood cells are regulated by protein messengers called cytokines. Cytokines deliver their message by inducing the activation of signalling pathways that orchestrate the cell’s response to infection but when these responses occur too robustly or at inappropriate times they can lead to autoimmune disease, tissue damage and blood cancers. We study the naturally occurring feedback inhibitors of these processes in order to devise new treatments for these diseases.
