Autoimmune disease

Biography

Joshua is an Al and Val Rosenstrauss Fellow in the School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health. His lab focuses on generating autoantigen-specific regulatory T cells to treat autoimmune diseases.
During his PhD (2009) and post-doctoral training, Joshua showed that inflammatory T helper cells specific for self proteins (known as autoantigens) underlie the pathogenesis of autoimmune disease. Now, he and his team are devising regulatory T cell-based therapies that specifically switch off the autoantigen-specific inflammatory response.
