Targeting B cell dynamics in immunity, autoimmunity and cancer [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Tri Phan (Principal investigator)

Brief description B cells keep us healthy by making antibodies that prevent infection. However, B cells can also cause disease when they make autoantibodies that attack our own body, or become cancers such as multiple myeloma. This application plans to use cutting-edge technologies of intravital two-photon microscopy, single cell RNA sequencing and CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to determine the processes that regulate B cell behaviour and how they become dysregulated in autoimmune diseases and multiple myeloma.
