Biography

Nick Gay is a leading researcher in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on understanding the molecular cellular mechanisms underlying innate immunity, particularly the role of chronic inflammation in debilitating diseases such as arthritis, sepsis, cancer, and Parkinson's disease. Gay and his team are dedicated to elucidating how normal protective immunity is regulated to prevent the damaging inflammatory reactions associated with various diseases. Their studies involve the use of interdisciplinary approaches that combine structural analysis, single molecule imaging, biophysics, and cell biology. Key research interests include the activation of signaling pathways, crosstalk in phosphoinositide metabolism, and the impact of inflammation on chronic diseases. Gay is an author of several important publications in the field of immunology.
