Brief description Mammals have evolved an array of mechanisms to sense microbes. These immune sentinels must distinguish self from non-self to activate an immune response. The initiation, amplification and quenching of an immune response is a carefully orchestrated process that eliminates invading pathogens while minimising collateral damage to host tissues. This research focuses on proteins that restrict immune responses to prevent inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis.
