• Biography/ Background

  I am a molecular biologist studying the basis of immunological defects giving rise to autoimmune diseases such as type 1 diabetes. I am interested in regulatory T cells ( the policemen of the immune system), aiming to understand what genes drive their formation and their normal function with a view to developing novel cell and drug based therapies and diagnostic biomarkers. Specifically I wish to identify how the transcription factor FOXP3 regulates genes in the immune system, and I have also begun to investigate its role as a tumour suppressor. It is apparent that the molecular mimicry of tolerance mechanisms is a means by which solid tumours may evade immune detection. This reinforces the observation that tissues and systems strongly interact, and that global gene regulation plays a key role in disease progression.
