Episode 2: Beyond the Bite - Exploring Autoimmune Breakthroughs at The Garvan Institute
We speak with Professors Antony Basten and Daniel Christ, as well as Dr David Langley at the Garvan Institute in Sydney, Australia. Where they guide us through the research being done on the alpha-gal molecule and why the Garvan Institute is so interested in understanding it. We talk about everything from how an understanding of alpha-gal could help us better prevent diseases such as malaria, to how tick-induced sensitisation to alpha-gal is associated with increased risk of coronary artery d...
