Brief description Iron is an essential nutrient, but it is also toxic when present in excess, so the amount of iron moving into and around the body must be tightly controlled. In this project we will investigate how this body iron movement is regulated, and in particular the role played by macrophages, the cells that clean up old red blood cells. An understanding of this process will be of great benefit in the analysis and treatment of important blood diseases and disorders of iron metabolism.
