Control of homeostasis and inflammation by the macrophage metabolome

Luke will use his Fellowship to define the metabolic programming of specific cell subsets and to determine the impact of this programming on the control of tissue homeostasis and the response to chronic diseases, such as cancer. To facilitate this, Luke will work with Dr Daniel McVicar, an expert in cellular interactions at the National Cancer Institute, NIH, and Professor Philip Taylor, a world leader in macrophage biology at Cardiff University.
