Investigating polarity proteins in thymocytes- a potential role in asymmetric cell division? [ 2008 - 2010 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Kim Pham (Principal investigator)

Brief description To protect us against infection, surveying immune cells will launch an attack against foreign cells by using complex signalling process to communicate with each other. A novel method in which immune cells differentiate to defend the body against infection has been recently discovered this year and this project will involve dissecting how this occurs. It will involve using state-of-the-art laser-based technologies, combined with studying immune events in cells and intact organs.
