Professor Gerard Graham specializes in Molecular Structural Immunology within the field of Immunology and Infection. With over 18 years of research experience, his projects predominantly focus on the function of chemokines and their receptors, particularly the D6-chemokine decoy receptor. He has made significant contributions to understanding the biological role of D6, including its internalization of ligands and its regulatory function in inflammatory responses, demonstrated through the use of D6-null mice models. Furthermore, Graham is actively involved in structural studies of chemokine receptors to inform drug design efforts. His work also explores the therapeutic potential of chemokine receptors in cancer immunotherapy and stem cell mobilization. He has led various grants and collaborative projects aimed at elucidating chemokine receptor functions, including initiatives supported by prominent organizations such as the Wellcome Trust and the British Heart Foundation.
