ALT Dr Nicole Mifsud in the laboratory. Our laboratory explores how T cell mediated immune responses contribute to the onset or perpetuation of human disorders (e.g. autoimmunity, allergy) and transplant rejection. A major focus is examining how virus-specific T cells cross-react toward either self or non-self human leukocyte antigen (HLA)/peptide complexes and how this mechanism induces adverse immune responses. We're part of the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute, and a member of the Immunity Program and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. https://www.monash.edu/discovery-institute/mifsud-lab/home
