SEMINAR: �Alveolar macrophages in chronic inflammatory lung disease"

Margaret undertook her PhD at the University of Melbourne with Prof Mark Hogarth performing biochemical and molecular studies of Fc receptors. Margaret did her post-doc at Harvard Medical School, Boston MA USA on a Jane Coffin Childs Research Fellowship with Prof Tim Springer working on leukocyte adhesion receptors. She returned to Australia to the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research as an ARC QEII Research Fellow in Prof Ashley Dunn’s lab to work on Src family kinases and set-up her own lab at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research in mid 2000 as an ARC Senior Research Fellow continuing to work on Src family kinases in the development and function of the immune system. Margaret then moved her lab to the Department of Immunology, Monash University in July 2010 where the current focus of the lab is inhibitory signaling pathways in inflammatory diseases. Margaret has been a NHMRC Senior Research Fellow since 2004 and holds three current NHMRC project grants.
