Researchers: Dr James Vince (Principal investigator) ,  A/Pr James Murphy ,  Dr Kate Lawlor ,  Dr Lisa Lindqvist

Brief description Many inflammatory driven diseases such as arthritis, atherosclerosis and septic shock are also associated with cell death. This project will identify, at the molecular level, how cell death signalling specifically acts to trigger pathological inflammation. As such, it will identify novel targets for the development of next generation anti-inflammatory drugs.
