Biography

Clare Muir is a Senior Lecturer in Veterinary Anatomic Pathology at the Centre for Inflammation Research. Her research focuses on understanding how immune cells, specifically phagocytes, manage to kill and digest microorganisms, with the ultimate goal of developing new drugs that can resolve inflammation in persistent infections. Muir investigates the mechanisms that control phagosome maturation in neutrophils and macrophages, particularly the host signaling pathways that improve pathogen killing. Her work highlights the importance of phosphatidylinositol lipids in managing phagosome maturation, which is crucial for effective immune responses. She collaborates with various colleagues, contributing to numerous publications exploring complex interactions between phagocytes and pathogens.
