Overview Technologies and assays Analysis tools Application to disease Community engagement

Research overview


Overview: beginning in the laboratory of Prof. Nicholas King (Pathology, USYD), and now continuing within the Sydney Cytometry Facility (USYD) and the multi-disciplinary Immune Dynamics team, our work involves the development and application of a range of high-dimensional single-cell cytometry/imaging technologies and assays, as well as computational analysis approaches, to map dynamic immune responses over time, space, and disease. We collaboratively apply these approaches to the study of immunology and infectious disease, including emerging pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19Zika virus encephalitis, and West Nile virus encephalitis. We then explore how these datasets, technologies, and analysis methdologies may contribute to, or benefit from, efforts such as the Human Cell Atlas (HCA).
