Extinguishing the fire: inflammasome inhibition [ 2018 - 2021 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Kate Schroder (Principal investigator)

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, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson's. This research program will reveal how the body deactivates inflammasomes – protein complexes at the heart of inflammation and disease – so we can design better drugs for treating patients with inflammation-driven disease.
