研究领域

Research is carried out under the umbrella of the ‘Myeloid Cell Biology’ Group (led by Prof. Taylor and Dr. Selinda Orr (Wellcome Trust funded Sir Henry Dale Fellow). The Myeloid Cell Biology group is interested primarily in macrophages, but also dendritic cells and neutrophils. These cells are phagcocytes, specialised blood cells, which ingest other cells (both microbial and self) as well as foreign particles. Phagocytes have diverse roles during development, host defence, inflammation (mediation and resolution), wound healing, immune surveillance and alteration of the adaptive immune response. Professional phagocytes are defined by their expression of a diverse array of receptors for recognising invading organisms such as bacteria and fungi, dead and dying cells, abnormal host cells and environmental particles. These receptors are ‘opsonic’, such as the Fc and complement receptors, and ‘non-opsonic’, such as the Toll-like receptors, and specific cell surface lectins. The Myeloid Cell Biology group is primarily interested in fundamental aspects of phagocyte biology, such as the receptors used to recognise pathogens, the signalling molecules involved in the subsequent downstream cellular activation events and fundamental aspects of cell biology such as the regulation of apoptosis or cell renewal. Understanding, how phagocytes respond to specific challenges presents an opportunity to manipulate the behaviour of cells at the very heart of innate and adaptive immunity.
