Immunity to intracellular infections

疟疾是一种毁灭性疾病，每分钟造成一人（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。这种策略最近让我们发现了一种特殊的细胞类型，可以对抗肝期疟疾。我的研究将利用这些知识与来自工业界和转化科学家的合作兴趣一起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.
