The immune system plays an important role in protecting the host from viral and bacterial infections, and inhibits cancer onset and progression. Unfortunately the immune system can sometimes lose specificity and attack the host resulting in autoimmune diseases such as diabetes. This research team has played a vital role in characterising the specific activities of immune cells and the associated factors. By understanding these complex processes the team aims to harness the unique therapeutic properties of our own immune system and translate their findings into the clinic.

免疫系统在保护宿主免受病毒和细菌感染方面发挥着重要作用，并抑制癌症的发生和发展。不幸的是，免疫系统有时会失去特异性，攻击宿主，导致自身免疫性疾病，如糖尿病。这个研究小组在确定免疫细胞的特定活动及其相关因素方面发挥了至关重要的作用。通过了解这些复杂的过程，该团队的目标是利用我们自己免疫系统的独特治疗特性，并将他们的发现转化为临床。
