Author Information
Richard Maizels is affiliated with the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Parasitology, Institute of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, United Kingdom. With a research focus on parasitology and immunology, Richard Maizels has made significant contributions to understanding host-parasite interactions and the immune responses to helminth infections.Research Contributions
Richard Maizels has an extensive research portfolio, particularly in the field of immunology and parasitology. His work in 2021 includes studies on the role of tuft cells in intestinal parasite infections, the impact of TGF-β mimics on colitis, the essential role of the chaperonin CCT8 in T cell maturation, and the identification of novel candidates for helminth vaccines. Additionally, his research delves into the regulatory mechanisms of helminth infections, including IL-10 signaling, the dual nature of soil-transmitted helminth infections, and the interaction of helminth extracellular vesicles with the host immune system. His work on the multifaceted roles of TGF-β in immunity and the induction of stable human FOXP3+ Tregs by parasite-derived TGF-β mimics further exemplifies his contributions to the field.Aliases
