Targeting Immunopathology in Chronic Diseases [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Sumaira Hasnain (Principal investigator)

Brief description I have discovered particular factors produced by our white blood cells have the ability to shut down or boost protein production in the gut, pancreas and lung. My vision is to harness these to devise new strategies for treatments for infectious and non-infectious diseases (inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes) that have a high burden on our healthcare system.
