T cell-mediated responses to influenza and Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection

流感和艾滋病毒是全球主要的健康挑战。我的研究将确定为什么某些人（例如，土著澳大利亚人）病毒感染及其相关并发症的风险很高，而其他人可以有效地对抗和控制感染。了解免疫系统对病毒感染的优势和弱点将为设计新的治疗方法提供惊人的机会，以控制（重新编程或增强）免疫系统以对抗感染。

Influenza and HIV are major global health challenges. My research will identify why certain individuals (e.g., Indigenous Australians) are at high risk of viral infections and their associated complications, whereas others can combat and control the infection effectively. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the immune system towards viral infection will provide astounding opportunities to design new therapies to control (reprogram or boost) the immune system to fight off infection.
