The role of cells in the persistence of inflammation

University of Birmingham
Institute of Inflammation and Ageing

Prof C Buckley

Applications accepted all year round

A characteristic feature of chronic inflammatory reactions is their persistence and predilection for certain sites. Our group investigates the role that tissue resident stromal cells (fibroblasts) play in determining both the switch to persistence as well as the site at which inflammation occurs.
