Circadian clock regulation of dendritic cell metabolism and function [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Kevin Man (Principal investigator)

Brief description Immunological and metabolic parameters change with the time of day, and are known as circadian rhythms. These fluctuations are critical for host adaptation to the environment and anticipate any increased risks of tissue damage and infection that accompany changes in activity and feeding. How the molecular circadian clock influences innate control of adaptive immunity is unknown. We will investigate how circadian proteins influence immune function through their sensing of nutrient and metabolic
