Biography
Dr Paul Whitney obtained his PhD investigating Helper T cells during a localised viral skin infection at the University of Melbourne with Professor Andrew Brooks and Associate Professor Patrick Reading. Following this, he undertook a postdoctoral position in London at the London Research Institute (Cancer Research UK) with Professor Caetano Reis e Sousa and investigated recognition and signaling events by dendritic cells during viral and fungal infection. Upon his return to Australia, he worked with Professor Stephen Turner and Associate Professor Sammy Bedoui investigating the mechanism by which dendritic cells drive adaptive immune responses.
