My main current interest is in how cells are recognised as being damaged by macrophages, using red blood cells as the main model system. This work impinges on both congential and acquired anaemias as well as the use of macrophages for therapeutic purposes. I also have interests in cellular immune responses to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and lymphomas. Work on EBV encompasses the epidemiology of IM, meta-analyses of the associations between viral infection and immune mediated diseases and laboratory analyses of CD4 responses to the virus. I am the clinical lead for a Wellcome Trust funded anti-EBV cytotoxic lymphocyte bank used to treat EBV driven lymphomas.
