Abstract
T-cells are an essential component of the immune response, important for the elimination of viral infection and the natural eradication of cancer. In addition, T-cells can play a major role in the pathogenesis of common diseases such as autoimmunity. Research within the group is focussed on three main areas: mechanisms of T-cell activation, understanding the role that T-cells play in disease and manipulation of the T-cell response for therapeutic benefit. The research talk will focus on understanding the T-cell response to foreign pMHCI and how this can inform intelligent design of immune therapies to beneficially manipulate the immune response.
Series This talk is part of the Departmental Seminar Programme, Department of Veterinary Medicine series.
