Associate Investigator Prof. Kate Schroder wins the Nancy Millis Medal for Women in Science

Prof. Schroder from The University of Queensland Node is an international leader in the field of inflammatory biology. Her innovative work is defining the molecular and cellular processes of inflammation. The protein complexes involved in inflammation and disease are known as inflammosomes. Her research has established that inflammasome signalling is crucial in antimicrobial defence and she has established that they drive pathological inflammation in diseases.
