Brief description During injury or infection, our body’s immune system protects us by launching inflammation. But uncontrolled inflammation drives common diseases such as cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s. This project will reveal how the body deactivates inflammasomes - protein complexes at the heart of inflammation and disease – so we can design better strategies for treating patients with inflammation-driven disease.
