Cancer & innate immunity

Laboratory head:Professor Bryan Williams

Scientists working in the Cancer and Innate Immunity group are interested in the role the innate immune system plays in regulating cell growth and differentiation. Research includes:

• The role of RNA-binding proteins, such as protein kinase R, in innate immunity
• The effect of small interfering RNA on the innate immune response
• The regulation of interferon-stimulated genes in renal cell carcinoma
• The regulation of genes involved in the development of Wilms tumour
