Grant Activity:
Harnessing ticks' tricks to develop therapies for inflammatory diseases
Purpose:
Inflammatory diseases are caused by the release of chemokines at the affected site. Chemokines attract immune cells to the site, leading to inflammation and tissue damage. Blocking the activity of chemokines is a promising approach to suppress inflammation. I propose to modify natural chemokine binding proteins from ticks called “evasinsâ€, so that they effectively block the activity of chemokines involved in various inflammatory diseases. This could lead to new anti-inflammatory treatments.
