25 October 12:00 - 1:00pm, Seminar
Room 1, Level 2, TRF Building
Dr Ashley Mansell
Research Group Head of
the Pattern Recognition Receptors and Inflammation lab in CiiiD.
Ashley Mansell is a senior
scientist and head of the Pattern Recognition Receptors and Inflammation in the
Centre for Innate Immunity and Infectious Diseases, Hudson Institute of Medical
Research. Dr Mansell completed his PhD with Professor Luke O’Neill at Trinity
College, Dublin. Returning to Australia, he was recruited to the Monash
Institute of Medical Research to form a TLR research laboratory where he has
continued his research of PRR signal transduction and its role in inflammatory
diseases. His studies have concentrated on understanding how TLRs, and other Pattern
recognition receptors, recognise and respond to pathogen challenge. Mostly he
has failed, but occasionally he’s got lucky and published these studies to
underwhelming acclaim. His recent studies have investigated the role of the
inflammasome in pathogenic Influenza A virus infections.
