Dr Comerford has made important contributions in the area of the molecular control of cell migration in models of human disease, including autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis and also in cancer. These include dissecting the role of atypical chemokine receptors in cell migration during immune responses and revealing the role of specific chemokine receptors in the control of T cell migration to the CNS and to solid tumours. His current research focuses on identification of novel factors involved in T cell recruitment in vivo, with applications in infectious disease, autoimmunity and cancer.
