معرفی
Michael Rory Daws is a Professor in the Section of Anatomy at the University of Oslo, affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine. He holds a permanent faculty position since 2015 and specializes in innate immune system receptors, focusing on their roles in autoimmunity and cancer. His research spans immunology, cell biology, and molecular mechanisms of immune receptor signaling.
Education:
- PhD in Immunology, University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne (1995)
Research Interests: Dr. Daws investigates innate immune receptors such as DAP12-associated receptors, C-type lectin receptors (e.g., Mincle, DCAR1), and their roles in pathogen recognition, autoimmune disorders, and cancer immunology. His work emphasizes receptor-ligand interactions, signaling pathways, and their implications for disease mechanisms.
Publications: His recent work highlights studies on heteromeric receptor complexes in macrophages, neuroinflammation linked to multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer’s disease risk factors. He collaborates extensively with researchers like Sigbjørn Fossum and Erik Dissen on projects involving innate immune cell receptors in rats and humans.
Labs/Teams: His group is part of the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, focusing on innate immunity and receptor biology. Collaborations include studies on NK cell receptors and osteoclast differentiation.
