Cambridge, United Kingdom MPOWIR Mentoring Physical Oceanography Women to Increase Retention Full timeOverviewThe Antarctic Ice Sheet is losing ice, causing sea-level rise. This ice loss is caused largely by changes in ocean melting of floating glacial ice shelves.

More About The Project
Project Title:
To die and to kill - regulation of Gasdermin E mediated cytotoxicity by pyroptotic T cells
We are a new research group at the University of Cambridge with a long-standing passion for the human immune system. Gasdermin E (GSDME) has been considered a tumor suppressor through its capacity to form membrane pores and induce pyroptotic cell death in malignant cells. We recently demonstrated that human T cells upregulate GSDME upon T cell receptor activation. Unlike malignant cells, T cells remain resistant to GSDME-mediated cell death by mechanisms that are not yet understood. Our preliminary data further suggest that GSDME pore formation enhances T cell cytotoxicity. This project will revisit the repertoire of cytotoxic effector mechanisms of T cells and delineate the role and regulation of GSDME as a novel executioner of T cell mediated anti-tumor immunity.
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for
4 years in the first instance.
