Grant Activity:
Next-generation therapeutics inspired by parasitic helminths
Purpose:
Billions of people in developing countries are infected with parasitic worms, but they have been eradicated from industrialised nations. Humans co-evolved with worms, so their recent removal has deprived us of signals required to keep inflammation in check. My research focuses on worm molecules that can be used as: (1) vaccines and diagnostics to combat parasitic infections in developing countries, and (2) a novel platform of anti-inflammatory therapeutics for use in industrialised nations.
