Presentation Title

Characterisation of type I interferon signalling paradigms in innate immunity

Synopsis 

Type I interferons are a family of innate signalling molecules integral to eliminating infections and cancer in the human immune response. With around twenty members sharing a common receptor complex, gaps in knowledge exist concerning mechanisms of action that lead to resolution or exacerbation of inflammatory events. This project aims to understand the molecular interactions at the receptor level which underlie these events in disease pathogenesis to shed light on how we can harness this interplay to regulate their outcomes.
