Dr. Cecile King is an Associate Professor at the University of New South Wales Sydney in the School of Biotech & Biomolecular Science, where she joined in 2021. She has been a faculty member at the Garvan Institute for Medical Research since 2005. Her research focuses on immune tolerance, RNA sensing, and retrotransposon regulation of immune responses.
- Education: PhD in Immunology from the University of Western Australia (UWA), postdoctoral training at the Scripps Research Institute
Dr. King's work explores how immune cells differentiate between self and non-self RNA, with implications for autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes and cancer immunology. She investigates retrotransposons' role in immune regulation and their evolutionary significance. Her recent studies include SARS-CoV-2 immune responses and T follicular helper cell dynamics.
Her most recent articles examine RNA-based immune recognition (2023), retroelement modulation of viral immunity (2022), and Tfh cell interactions in tumors (2021). She has contributed extensively to understanding IL-21's role in autoimmune pathogenesis and germinal center reactions.
