De Nardo Group
Innate Immune Signalling Group
Welcome to the De Nardo Group
Our groups research focusses on the innate immune response to pathogens and dysregulated host molecules through a better understanding of the underlying cellular signalling pathways that become activated.
We're part of the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute, and a member of the Immunity Program,
and the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology.

Our research
The innate immune system induces a rapid host response following the recognition of pathogens or endogenous danger signals by stimulating the release of inflammatory mediators via the functions of families of highly conserved pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Our group investigates the mechanisms that control the complex cellular signalling and trafficking pathways that are elicited upon PRR activation. Our research program aims to provide a clearer molecular understanding of innate immune receptors in microbial infection, autoimmune and autoinflammatory disease, as well as uncovering new avenues for harnessing innate immunity for effective cancer immunotherapy.
