معرفی
Dr. Aidil Zaini is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Immunology at Monash University, School of Translational Medicine, and is affiliated with the Alfred Hospital. His research is centered on understanding mucosal immune responses, particularly in the context of diet, neuro-immune crosstalk, and the gut-immune-brain axis during health and inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease.
His research interests span Mucosal Immunology, Neuro-Immune Interactions, and Gut-Immune-Brain Axis dynamics. With a strong focus on how dietary factors influence immune responses, Dr. Zaini explores the immunological mechanisms underlying chronic inflammation and barrier integrity in the gut. His work integrates immunological, metabolic, and neurological perspectives to uncover novel pathways in disease pathogenesis.
The recent publication trends highlight a multidisciplinary approach combining immunology with neuroscience and metabolism. Articles focus on T cell regulation, innate lymphoid cells, mast cell function, and the impact of feeding regimens on brain injury outcomes, reflecting a growing interest in systemic immune regulation across organ systems.
Dr. Zaini has contributed to several peer-reviewed publications in high-impact journals such as Immunity, Frontiers in Immunology, and Cell Reports. His work has been referenced in Wikipedia, picked up by news outlets, and widely shared on social media, indicating broad scientific and public engagement.
He has been actively involved in research since completing his PhD at the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute (2018–2021), where he studied mucosal immunity in allergy and helminth infections. Since joining the Mucosal Immunology Research Group in late 2021, he continues to advance understanding of immune homeostasis and inflammation through collaborative, translational research.
Dr. Zaini is part of the Mucosal Immunology Research Group, where he collaborates on projects exploring diet-immune interactions and neuroimmunological aspects of gut inflammation. The team’s work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to good health and well-being.
