Research Grant
[Cite as https://purl.org/au-research/grants/nhmrc/1111306]Brief description The proposed research aims to help transplant patients who are at high risk of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, using a treatment called adoptive immunotherapy. I seek to improve the function of patients’ own specialised immune cells (known as T cells) in laboratory and transfer the T cells back into patients, allowing them to better fight the CMV infection. This treatment will improve survival, minimise transplant rejection and reduce the cost associated with anti-viral drugs.
