About
Associate Professor Michelle Wykes and her Molecular Immunology Group studies the immunology behind several diseases. Their research initially focussed on understanding the role dendritic cells play in the pathogenesis of malaria and now apply novel insight gained into understanding cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. They have found novel functions for Programmed cell death-1 ligand 2 (expressed on dendritic cells) in regulating immunity. More recently, their focus has shifted to developing novel immunotherapies.
