Chronic infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and leishmaniasis are responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. They are all characterised by severe immune dysfunction. We will study a parasitic infection to identify important immune cell populations and molecules that promote chronic infectious disease. This knowledge will enable the development of better treatments and vaccines for range of infectious diseases that affect people in many parts of the world.

艾滋病毒/艾滋病、结核病、疟疾和利什曼病等慢性传染病是造成高发病率和高死亡率的原因。它们都以严重的免疫功能障碍为特征。我们将研究寄生虫感染，以确定重要的免疫细胞群和分子，促进慢性传染病。这些知识将有助于开发更好的治疗方法和疫苗，以治疗影响世界许多地区人民的一系列传染病。
