T-cell mediated immunity is reliant on the nature of the HLA-associated peptide pool presented on an infected cell or in tumour tissue. The specificity of this presentation determines the quality of the immunological response that can be elicited by cellular immune responses. My research focuses on qualitative and quantitative characterization of these cellular immunopeptidomes in the context of pathogen infection and cancer using mass spectrometry.
