Understanding immune function and dysfunction.
THE 2022 EPPENDORF EDMAN ECR AWARD: WAEL AWAD Monash Biomedical Discovery Institute Monash University Dr Wael Awad completed BSc and MSc studies at Cairo University, Egypt, resulting in two publications in the fields of molecular biophysics. With the support of an Erasmus Mundus Scholarship, Wael then moved to Sweden and completed a PhD under the […]
Monash University researchers have expanded their knowledge of how T cells might recognise infections or disease, providing key insight into how an often-overlooked T cell lineage becomes activated when encountering pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and cancers. T cells communicate with other cells in the body in search of infections or diseases. This crosstalk relies […]
