Using in vivo imaging to understand the hypoxic immune response to TB
Welcome to our website!
We are fascinated by the immune cells of our body (white blood cells, specifically the macrophages and neutrophils) and want to understand their behaviours during bacterial disease so that we can improve how they work to help us clear deadly infections such as tuberculosis. |
We are especially interested in the regulation of hypoxia signalling during TB. The above image shows red labelled white blood cells (macrophages) with internalised bacteria and activated hypoxia signalling (white). The only way to understand this properly is to watch them in action in vivo... to do this we use a zebrafish model of TB. |

Welcome Abdi Welcome to Abdi, a new BMedSci student in the lab! Well done Hannah! Hannah presented her work “elucidating the mechanisms governing neutrophil reverse migration” at the 13th World Congress on Inflammation in London. She received a young investigators award and was later presented with the William Harvey medal for new investigators. |
