Manipulating the fine-turning of the innate immune response in disease [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Paul Hertzog (Principal investigator)

Brief description I am an international expert on the body’s first-line defense system, the innate immune response. My Fellowship focuses on studying and manipulating innate immune molecules called interferons. My research will lead to improved management of female reproductive disease, autoimmune disorders, infections and cancer through new diagnostics and therapies targeting the interferon system. The basic knowledge I generate on regulating the immune response will be applicable to a range of medical fields.
