The goal of this fellowship is to deploy sophisticated imaging workflows, and in particular electron microscopy, to understand how a major family of pore forming immune proteins functions to destroy target cells. The outcomes the fellowship will include basic discoveries that relate to how the immune system recognises and destroys foreign targets, and the the development of new inhibitors of the immune response that I anticipate will have future therapeutic value.

该奖学金的目标是部署复杂的成像工作流程，特别是电子显微镜，以了解孔形成免疫蛋白的主要家族如何破坏靶细胞。研究成果将包括与免疫系统如何识别和破坏外来目标有关的基本发现，以及我预计将具有未来治疗价值的免疫反应新抑制剂的开发。
