Immunity to intracellular infections

疟疾是一种毁灭性的疾病，每分钟就有一人（主要是儿童）死亡。我的目标是了解免疫系统如何对抗疟疾，并利用这些知识开发新的疫苗接种方法。这一策略最近导致我们发现了一种专门的细胞类型，可以对抗肝脏阶段的疟疾。我的研究将利用这些知识以及来自行业和转化科学家的合作兴趣来开发新的有效的疫苗接种策略。

Malaria is a devastating disease that kills one person (mainly children) every minute. My goal is to understand how the immune system fights malaria and to use this knowledge to develop novel vaccination approaches. This strategy recently led to our discovery of a specialised cell type that fights liver-stage malaria. My research will utilize this knowledge together with collaborative interests from industry and translational scientists to develop novel efficacious vaccination strategies.
