“How macrophage metabolism controls the lung”

Host: Henry McSorley

Venue: Sir Kenneth & Lady Noreen Murray Seminar Room, CTIR 2.84

Abstract 

I completed my undergraduate studies in chemistry at University College Dublin and subsequently undertook a PhD in medicinal chemistry at Trinity College Dublin. After a period in industry, I carried out postdoctoral work at Northwestern University, Chicago and at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, University of Oxford. I subsequently moved to the National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London in 2014 and joined the academic staff in 2016. In 2023 I was appointed as a Full Professor of Respiratory Immunology at UCD, a Conway Institute Senior Fellow and a Senior Fellow at Imperial College London. My laboratory explores molecular mechanisms that dictate innate immune responses in the lung during chronic lung diseases (such as asthma and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis).
