Metabolic plasticity instructs immune cell function

Línea de investigación

Immunobiology.

Descripción

The student will help to explore new “gain-of-function” strategies to manipulate mitochondrial metabolism and determine how it controls dendritic cell and macrophage function. This can offer new therapies for immune-mediated diseases including: infection, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The student will learn many techniques working in vitro (cell culture, biochemistry, metabolic assays, flow cytometry and Immunology techniques) and will learn about the in vivo models that we are developing to address this problem.
