This project aims to study immune recognition of microbial metabolites and develop reagents to control immune responses. Chemical synthesis will be used to develop new antigens for unconventional T cells and the first soluble agonists and antagonists of a glycolipid-sensing immune receptor. Expected outcomes include the discovery of new immune effectors, broadening our knowledge of the repertoire of small molecules that can be sensed by the immune system, and developing chemical approaches to promote or dampen immune responses. Major benefits include research training in chemical biology, strengthened international linkages and fundamental insights into the chemical basis of immune recognition and response.

该项目旨在研究微生物代谢物的免疫识别并开发控制免疫反应的试剂。化学合成将用于开发非常规 T 细胞的新抗原以及糖脂感应免疫受体的第一个可溶性激动剂和拮抗剂。预期成果包括发现新的免疫效应物、扩大我们对免疫系统可感知的小分子的了解，以及开发化学方法来促进或抑制免疫反应。主要好处包括化学生物学的研究培训、加强的国际联系以及对免疫识别和反应的化学基础的基本见解。
