Mass Cytometric analysis of life and death decisions in cancer cells 

Dr Daniel Gray, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, Melbourne

As a component of the Winter Course in Advanced Immunology Dr Daniel Gray will present a UQDI Seminar on Tuesday 17th July. 

During his PhD at Monash University with Prof Richard Boyd, Daniel studied how the epithelial cells of the thymus guide T cell differentiation. As a NHMRC CJ Martin Fellow with Prof Diane Mathis at the Harvard Medical School, he made discoveries about how the expression of the autoimmune regulator protein, AIRE, in thymic epithelial cells can prevent autoimmune diseases. He returned to Australia in 2009 as an NHMRC Career Development Fellow with Prof Andreas Strasser at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute, researching how cell death processes shape the immune system and prevent diseases like autoimmunity and cancer.  He now leads a team at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute dedicated to understanding how defects in cell death cause immune disorders, cancer and resistance to therapies.

Free seminar to attend registration is not required.
