Analysis of T cell fate regulation by asymmetric cell division [ 2008 - 2011 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Edwin Hawkins (Principal investigator)

Brief description The aim of this research is to study how white blood cell growth is regulated by signals of the immune system. Problems in this process can have drastic effects on the well being of an individual leading to deficiencies in controlling infection and development of diseases such as cancer. Once we understand how these signals regulate white blood cell growth, we can begin to develop therapies to provide protection against these diseases.
