Characterisation and targeting T cellular metabolism to improve control of chronic viral infections [ 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2023 ]

Research Grant

Brief description CD8+ T cells are the frontline warriors of our immune system that can eliminate infected or cancerous cells. However, diseases caused by overwhelming viral infections are associated with widespread impairments in immunity and cellular metabolism. Here, we propose to examine molecular pathways involved in cellular metabolism that could be utilized to improve therapies against viral infection and cancer.
