Systems immunology of antigen specific T cells: from single-cell to immune protection [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Fabio Luciani (Principal investigator)

Brief description T cells are key for establishment of immune protection and object of ongoing research in vaccines and more recently immunotherapy against infections and some cancers. Their dynamics are complex and many mechanisms remain unknown that could be exploited for modern therapies. Here, in a systems approach I will combined single cell technologies, immunology and computational biology to identify the factors that determine the establishment of long term memory cells utilising a unique set of samples.
