Molecular and cellular control of human Th9 cell differentiation in health and disease [ 2018 - 2020 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Cindy Ma (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Elissa Deenick

Brief description T helper 9 (Th9) cells are a recently defined population of CD4+ T cells that have been implicated in immunological disorders ranging from allergy, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, and cancer, to host defence against fungal and parasitic infections. As such, Th9 cells are extremely important to human health and disease. This project aims to define the mechanisms involved in the generation, regulation and function of human Th9 cells.
