Lesley Smyth,
Senior Lecturer in Immunology
Dr Smyth completed her PhD at Edinburgh University studying the mechanisms behind immunological tolerance to milk proteins. Since then she has worked on several diverse immunological themes including: cell signalling pathways involved in positive and negative thymic T cell selection, the role anti-apoptotic molecules play in endothelial cell survival during transplantation rejection and the intercellular transfer of information between cells and its implications in both a viral and transplant setting. She is a Senior Lecturer at UEL, as well as visiting lecturer at KCL, where she continues her research into immune regulation investigating how extracellular vesicles from regulatory T cells and dendritic cells modulate immune responses.
