Funded Activity Summary

Macrophages are white blood cells that play a major role in the development of inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and atherosclerosis, diseases that are a major burden to Australian society. This project aims to characterise the effects of a novel class of potential anti-inflammatory agents on macrophages. Defining how these drugs modify macrophages in disease models will allow design of therapeutics with minimal side effects.
