We had the chance to talk with Georgia Atkin-Smith about Apoptosis and different types of cell death, autoimmune disorders, and the optimistic future of the field.
Georgia is a final year PhD student in Biochemistry and Immunology at the La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science, Melbourne, Australia. Her PhD project focuses on a type of cell death termed apoptosis and the consequence of this process in disease. Specifically, Georgia’s research is aimed to understand the role of apoptotic fragments, known as apoptotic bodies, derived from white blood cells during influenza A virus infection.
