Host-Pathogen Interactions
This research theme investigates host-pathogen interactions that are vital to our understanding of host biology, infectious diseases and effective therapies.
Host-Pathogen Interactions is a research grouping of biomedical scientists investigating the molecular, cellular, organismal and populational mechanisms in sensing and evading pathogens, virus/bacteria host interaction, pathogen defence mechanisms and pathological consequences of infection.
Our overarching goal is to combine basic research with clinical studies to design novel, more effective interventions and therapies against pathogenic infections.
