Funded Activity Summary

Plasma cells produce the antibodies that are essential to protect us from pathogenic microorganisms and provide the basis for the beneficial effects of vaccination. Plasma cells can also cause disease through the production of antibodies against our own body, for example in Lupus and in the blood cell cancer multiple myeloma . Our research aims to understand the genetic regulation of antibody production, with an aim to "switch off" inappropriate antibody supply in disease.
