Inflammageing: the biomarkers driving inflammation and ageing
We're exploring the science behind chronic inflammation and how it contributes to early-onset disease.
Investigating the dietary effects on the development of age-associated B cells in models of chronic immune disease
Examining whether changes in diet, such as a high fat diet can modulate the production of age-associated B cells.
