 News.

It was great to be part of the 2024 Big Biology Day. Fantastic to see so much enthusiasm and interest in our games!

Our research.

Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I molecules play a fundamental role in orchestrating the immune system and inducing protective immune responses against tumours and pathogens. They do this by presenting peptides derived from pathogen and tumour proteins to the immune system. TeamTAPBPR explores the pathway that controls peptide selection onto MHC-I molecules. This has important translational potential given the importance of MHC molecules in infectious disease, cancer and autoimmunity.

Public Engagement.

We are extremely enthusiastic regarding engaging with the general public and inspiring school children to consider a career in science.
