معرفی
Prof Petros Ligoxygakis is a Professor at the University of Oxford leading research on insect innate immunity using Drosophila as a model organism. His work investigates how insects interact with pathogens and beneficial microbes in diverse environments, with implications for understanding human immune responses.
His research spans critical areas in immunological science:
- Mechanisms of pathogen recognition across animal species
- Consequences of immune dysregulation including gut inflammation and neurodegeneration
- Translational drug discovery for immune-mediated disorders
- Evolutionary conservation of innate immunity between insects and mammals
The lab actively disseminates findings through social media @LigoxygakisLab, emphasizing the ecological significance of insect immunity given their dominance in Earth's animal biomass.
