Join us for the next Inflammation, Repair and Development seminar to hear from Dr Anya Jones speaking on ‘Using systems biology to crack the allergy code: how does therapy ‘switch off’ allergy?’. This is a hybrid seminar with in-person attendance at G16 SAF or streamed online on Teams.
Speaker
Dr Anya Jones is a computational biologist at the Telethon Kids Institute and Adjunct Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia (UWA). Her PhD focused on the immunoinflammatory mechanisms underlying severe virus-induced respiratory disease in early childhood. Dr Jones is pioneering research targeted towards identification of strategies for allergic disease prevention and potential to improve success of current treatments. Her research is anchored in systems biology, with the underlying concept that immune responses involve complex interactions between multiple genes that do not function in isolation, but rather in large networks that drive disease processes.
