Bio
Adrian Liston is Professor of Pathology at the University of Cambridge and Equalities Fellow at St Catharine’s College. Prof Liston is highly published in immunology and neuroimmunology, in particular his work on regulatory T cells in the brain, and manipulating the population for therapeutic benefit. He has been awarded fellowship to the Academy of Medical Sciences, the Francqui Chair, the Eppendorf Prize, two Wellcome Trust awards and four ERC grants, among other honours. Beyond his research, Prof Liston is a prolific writer and workshop coordinator on the topics of navigating a science career and improving research culture. Finally, Prof Liston is also an extensive public communicator, including writing several illustrated books for children and designing educational computer games.
Tissue Regulatory T cells
Tregs have well-defined roles in limiting systemic immune responses, with additional functions for tissue-resident Tregs becoming increasingly apparent. These tissue-resident Tregs have diverse beneficial roles in tissue physiology, such as aiding homeostasis and promoting tissue repair and regeneration. In this talk Prof Liston will discuss the molecular features and cellular kinetics that drive tissue residency for Tregs, and the potential for clinical translation.
