Presidential Fellow at the University of Manchester. Researching inflammasomes and molecular mechanisms of inflammation

Manchester, England
Joined October 2017
Very happy to share our latest study out now in @JCellBiol! We describe a new way in how macrophages translate cell volume changes to sense danger and drive inflammation. Check it out here hubs.la/Q04fQS5V0
Cook, Green et al. @OfficialUoM show that #macrophages sense cell volume disruption as a danger signal promoting transcriptional reprogramming and inflammatory responses via type I interferon signaling. hubs.la/Q04fQS5V0 #Inflammation #CellSignaling #Immunology

Delighted to share that our study with @bioagelabs NLRP3 inhibitors is now online @JExpMed ! Together with @Geyer_lab @benedicte_py and @Innate_immuno we characterise BAL-0028 and BAL-0598. Excited to see the new NLRP3 biology they will reveal!
#NLRP3 is a target for anti-inflammatory therapies & can be inhibited by the tool compound MCC950. Wilhelmsen, @Rebecca_Coll et al. characterize new small-molecule inhibitors, BAL-0028 & BAL-0598, that have a distinct mechanism of action & binding site. hubs.la/Q03GtbGx0

The loss of TBK1, or both TBK1 and the related kinase IKKε, results in uncontrolled cell death–driven inflammation. We show that TBK1/IKKε prevent premature cell death by limiting the activity of multiple death pathways in myeloid cells.@FabiAlexFischer science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
