Mapping the molecular blueprint for immune cell differentitation [ 2016 - 2020 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Stephen Turner (Principal investigator)

Brief description Killer T cells are white blood cells that are key for helping control virus infections and in the recognition and elimination of cells that have become cancerous. This proposal aims to identify novel molecular mechanisms that control the ability of killer T cells to mediate their antiviral and anti-cancer functions. This will provide molecular targets for possible clinical interventions designed to either promote immunity (vaccination) or limit damage caused by T cell responses that target self
