Grant Program:
Discovery Early Career Researcher Award
Grant Activity:
Decoding the enigmatic biology of human gamma-delta T cells
Purpose:
The immune system surveys our body examining molecules that signal whether or not everything is ok. T cells are a central to this and use their receptors to monitor these molecular signals. A specialised subset of T cells known as gamma-delta T cells are critical to detecting infection and cancer, yet their fundamental biology is poorly understood. This project aims to unravel this elusive biology. The aims are to understand 1. The diversity in function between gamma-delta T cell subsets, and 2. The diversity in gamma-delta T cell receptors and the molecules that these receptors detect. This work is essential for understanding gamma-delta T cell immunology which is critical if we ultimately wish to harness this to improve human health.
