Research Interests

  • Carola Vinuesa’s research has contributed to a better understanding of the complex interaction of cells and molecules that regulate the production of protective potent, long-lasting antibody responses with particular focus on follicular helper and regulatory T cells and their products. Her team has identified how abnormalities that interfere with this process can contribute to the development of autoantibodies and allergy. Her recent discoveries are connecting genetic variation in humans to autoimmune diseases like lupus and illuminating more targeted treatments. In 2015, she was elected Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science, in 2020 Fellow of the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences and in 2022 Fellow of the Royal Society of London.
