Ian Marriott

Ian Marriott is a Professor of Biology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, specializing in immunology and molecular biology. His research focuses on inflammatory responses, DNA damage signaling, and microbial immunology, particularly in the context of bacterial infections and immune regulation in bone and neural cells.

• Education: Trained in physiology and immunology at the University of Birmingham (UK) and Tulane University School of Medicine
• Editorial Roles: Former editorial board member for The Journal of Immunology, current member for Current Immunology Reviews

His recent work explores cytosolic nucleic acid sensors in bone infection models and cGAS-mediated inflammation in microglial cells. Collaborations span institutions in China, Egypt, Canada, and Switzerland, with a focus on computational biology, pharmacology, and biologics evaluation.

Ian Marriott's research demonstrates expertise in innate immunity, type I interferon responses, and nanoparticle-based immune modulation. His publications highlight applications in combating Staphylococcus aureus infections and understanding neuroinflammatory processes.
