Project: Lymphoid tissues and regulation of T cell responses to chronic viral infection
Mueller Group
This project will examine how lymphoid tissues respond to viral infection and regulate T cell responses. We will examine how lymphoid tissues contribute to T cell dysfunction during chronic virus infections and what this might mean for new disease treatments.

Research in the Mueller group is focused on examining immune responses to acute and chronic viral infections and to tumours. We are using state-of-the-art methods, including intravital 2-photon microscopy, to visualise immune cells and pathogens in real time.
