System-based approaches to inform the design of immunotherapies and immunodiagnostics against chronic pathogens [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Denise Doolan (Principal investigator)

Brief description Chronic infectious diseases such as malaria are responsible for an enormous public health burden worldwide. New approaches to develop effective interventions against such pathogens are urgently required. Over the next 5 years, I will use innovative genome-based and systems-levels approaches to discover novel pathogen antigens and host immune pathways that underlie protective immunity, immunomodulatory pathways that can be then targeted for intervention, and biomarkers of immunity or disease.
