Gill Dealtry
I am an immunologist, with an interest in the physiological effects of cells and signalling molecules of the immune system on chronic diseases, such as diabetes.
My research group studies the action of medicinal plant extracts on the activity of macrophages (cells of the innate immune response) and inflammation in type 2 diabetes, using cell culture, molecular techniques and immunological techniques to examine gene expression.
