Congratulations to Dr Keshav Raj Paudel, a researc Congratulations to Dr Keshav Raj Paudel, a researcher at the Centenary UTS Centre for Inflammation, as well as collaborators, who have been awarded a grant to investigate the health impacts associated with the inhalation and ingestion of microplastics.

Microplastics are tiny and freely circulate in the environment. They can reach deep inside the lungs through inhalation, causing inflammatory and immune responses that damage the respiratory system and other organs. They can also be found in food and drinking water, and can accumulate in the body over time, potentially triggering adverse reactions.

Dr Paudel says his research aims to improve understanding about the deleterious health effects of plastic exposures. It could also aid policy development in defining safe exposure levels of microplastics, crucial for safeguarding public health.

The awarded Maridulu Budyari Gumal (SPHERE) Triple I Research Seed Grant is valued at $75,000.

Research by the Centenary Institute has revealed h Research by the Centenary Institute has revealed how a new mucosal (nasal delivered) vaccine can provide early protection against tuberculosis (TB) by drawing a particular type of immune cell into the lungs.

The discovery is set to aid the development of more potent vaccines to better fight TB, a contagious bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs, and that causes approximately 1.5 million global deaths each year.

During their investigation, the researchers observed that their mucosal vaccine initiated a strong immune response against TB by attracting T lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell crucial in fighting infections, into the lungs at the early stages of infection. The T lymphocytes possess a critical receptor called CXCR3 on their surface, enabling them to detect early signs of TB infection, enhancing the vaccine’s ability to combat TB.

Congratulations to senior study researcher Professor Warwick Britton AO and all contributing researchers on this TB vaccine discovery!
