Innate immune cell activation and inflammatory pathology
About me
I research and teach in the field of immunology, specialising in activation of innate immune cells and the resulting cell death and inflammatory pathways. I am also the School Director of Research for SCMB.
Research focus
Responses of the innate immune system to pathogen molecules
One of the most fundamental issues in immunology has been "self/non-self discrimination" - how does the immune system distinguish self from foreign and know what to attack? The last 20 years has seen an explosion of information on how cells identify the presence of invading organisms. This principally involves cells of the innate immune system, which subsequently activate the acquired immune system (T and B cells). “Pattern recognition receptors” (PRR) on innate immune cells bind to characteristically foreign molecules which are conserved amongst groups of pathogens. These foreign molecules are called "pathogen associated molecular patterns” (PAMPs).
The bacterial cell wall provides many PAMPs for recognition of bacterial infection, such as lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan, lipoproteins and flagellin. Detection of viral infection is more challenging, as viruses have diverse molecules and can evolve rapidly to evade detection. However, all viruses carry nucleic acids, and these are key to the initiation of anti-viral responses. Whilst beneficial in helping to combat infections, these responses also lead to inflammatory pathology. Furthermore, the same receptor systems respond to certain host molecules that indicate stress and danger, and are thought to drive inflammation in a wide range of diseases of ageing such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and heart disease.
The broad theme of my laboratory is innate immune cell recognition of pathogen or "danger" molecules, the responses generated, and their role in pathology. In the past I have been particularly interested in responses of cells to foreign nucleic acids. This started with our early publication of macrophage activation by extracellular bacterial DNA, now known to be mediated by Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9). On the other hand, DNA in the cytosol of cells is detected as abnormal, and we found this caused macrophage death. Subsequently, we were one of the groups describing the AIM2 inflammasome, a large protein complex that mediates DNA-dependent cell death and inflammation.
We currently focus on Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) which is the receptor for bacterial LPS, inflammasome responses, novel responses to cytosolic DNA, as well as inflammatory processes in dengue virus pathology. In-depth understanding of these processes will provide new directions for drug development.

Researcher biography
My work focusses on activation of innate immune cells by pathogen products. Following my PhD at UQ on transcriptional regulation in macrophages I went in 1996 to the University of Cambridge on a CJ Martin Fellowship to work in a molecular parasitology laboratory. I returned to the the University of Queensland in where I focussed on immune cell responses to foreign DNA. I was awarded an ARC Future Fellowship in 2009 to move to the School of Chemistry and Molecular Bioscience, where I also lecture in immunology.
