Funded Activity Summary

Infectious diseases are a leading cause of death in Australia. Activation of disease-fighting inflammasomes sets in motion rapid immune defenses against pathogens. In this project, we explore how cell-cell communication molecules known as type I interferons communicate with inflammasomes to achieve the best outcome in the body in response to deadly bacterial infection. Understanding how these signals communicate with one another could reveal new ways to fight infectious diseases.
