Professor Adrian Liston is pleased to consider applications from prospective PhD students.

Research description

We are focussed on understanding the biology of regulatory T cells within the tissues. How they migrate there, what controls their numbers and their functions, both immunological and tissue homeostatic in nature. Our approach is to identify key unknowns and then design new genetic tools to answer them.
