Melissa Northcott's PhD confirmation, "Glucocorticoid Induced Leucine Zipper and Type 1 Interferon in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus", 20 February

All staff and students are invited to Melissa Northcott's PhD confirmation.

12pm, 20 February, Medicine Seminar Room, Level 5, Block E.


Synopsis:  Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an incurable systemic autoimmune disease in which type 1 interferon has an established pathogenic role. Glucocorticoid induced leucine zipper (GILZ) is a protein with a wide range of anti-inflammatory effects. This project examines interactions between type 1 interferon and GILZ, aiming to strengthen current evidence that GILZ may be an effective therapeutic target in SLE.
Supervisors:  Professor Eric Morand, Dr Sarah Jones
