Environmental sensing by immune cells
Immune cell development and function require the establishment of effective cellular and molecular interactions. However, the mechanisms that underpin immune cell communication with their environment remain largely elusive. Our laboratory aims to explore novel communication pathways that determine immune cell fate and disease progression, focusing on haematopoiesis and lymphoid cell development and function.
