Presentation Title: Investigating the role of dietary fibre in the modulation of immune function
and leukocyte recruitment during colitis
Synopsis: The interaction between fibre, iNKT cells, neutrophil recruitment and murine colitis is poorly understood. My project aims to 1) examine the role of iNKT cells on neutrophil recruit in DSS-induced colitis; 2) assess the role of fibre and acetate on healthy and diseases mice
