Biography

Associate Professor Michelle Tate is a recognized leader in the fields of viral pathogenesis and immunology. After completing her PhD at the University of Melbourne in 2010, she joined the Centre for Innate Immunity and Infectious Diseases at the Hudson Institute of Medical Research, where she leads the Viral Immunity and Immunopathology research group and serves as Deputy Centre Head. A/Prof Tate’s research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms that drive hyperinflammation in severe disease, particularly in the context of influenza virus infection. Her work has significantly advanced the understanding of the host immune response, which can be therapeutically modulated to reduce the severity of viral diseases. She has published widely in leading journals, including PLoS Pathogens, Immunity, eLife, Clinical & Translational Immunology, British Journal of Pharmacology, Journal of Immunology, and Journal of Virology. A/Prof Tate has received substantial funding from the NHMRC and MRFF, along with various fellowships and grants. She collaborates closely with clinical and commercial partners to translate discoveries into novel host-directed therapies for pulmonary diseases, developing safer and more effective treatment strategies.
