Supervisor: Pr V. Mulero, co-supervisors: local: Dr. S. Tyrkalska, external: academic: Dr. L. Yatime(P1 UM)
Objectives: 1: Implementing tools to track ASC specks release, diffusion and taken up in zebrafish larvae; 2) understanding the role of local inflammasome components release in systemic inflammation and in zebrafish haematopoiesis; 3) Studying the role of inflammasome inmyeloid
cell migration in zebrafish larvae.
Expected Results: 1) Tools to track ASC specks in vivo. 2) Role of local inflammasome speck release in systemic inflammation and haematopoiesis. 3) Role of inflammasome activation and speck release in myeloid cell migration.
