  • PathWest Star of the Future - Sam Neeling 27 April 2022 Samuel Neeling, Medical Scientist, Immunology, is one of the successful recipients of the PathWestEarly Career Research Awards that were awarded in February 2022. Sam's research project will be investigating “In-vitro measurement of the neutralising effect of anti-GMCSF or anti-IFN-γ antibodies on STAT phosphorylation using patient serum and donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells”.

GM-CSF and Interferon γ (IFN- γ) are crucial cytokines that act on monocytes via the JAK/STAT pathway. Anti- IFN-γ antibodies are a known cause of adult onset immunodeficiency and anti-GM-CSF antibodies are associated with Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (PAP). Autoantibodies against these cytokines have bee...
