个人简介

Dr Linda Agnew is a cellular immunologist with expertise in the measurement and analysis of biomarkers of the immunological and cellular stress responses in health and disease. While the primary focus of this research is core biomedical science much of its application is in clinical medicine providing translational (bench-to-bedside) outcomes.

研究领域

Immunology Laboratory Diagnostics Microbiology Human Nutrition

Core research techniques used in my laboratory can be applied to assess a wide range of immunological processes (and by definition healthy vs. pathological states). The nature of my research, therefore, enables its application to a wide range of research projects that currently include: Bi-directional communication between the HPA axis & immune system (in depression) The role of basophils in the Th2 immune response The cellular stress response in Coeliac Disease Immunological responses to herbal medications Oxidative stress and antioxidant status
