Brief description TNF is a master regulator of the inflammation response and dysregulated TNF signalling causes many human diseases. We will use a cutting edge mass spectrometry technique that we have developed to analyse molecules required for TNF signalling. Understanding how the TNF signalling works in all cell types and with different forms of ligands will open up therapeutic opportunities to selectively target TNF signalling in inflammatory diseases, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis and Cancer.
