Grant Activity:
Why do neutrophils swarm?
Purpose:
This project aims to combine novel immunology, microscopy and computational approaches to investigate how immune cells called neutrophils cooperate to protect the host against microbes. Neutrophils are rapidly recruited to sites of inflammation and then utilise a type of highly coordinated collective behaviour termed swarming. However, the role of neutrophil swarms in fighting off infection is poorly understood. The project is poised to generate new knowledge on the importance of immune cell cooperation by developing in silico models of the immune response. The project will provide benefit through enhanced understanding of fundamental principles of immunity and develop new computational tools to model complex immune function in silico.
