- Additional information
- This work has identified the first characterisation of the forces between individual immune cells at the onset of an immune response. The work underpinned a major grant from the EPSRC (60%), MRC (20%) and BBSRC (20%) [EP/R035563/1] worth approximately £1.2M in total and a new collaboration with the University of Glasgow and Heriot-Watt University.
