FUNDED RESEARCH
A long term interest and involvement in the study of the evolutionary development of the immune system provides the background for current research projects in Professor Raison's laboratory that address the relationship between mucosal and systemic immune responses in fish, and the development of targeted vaccines for the aquaculture industry. In addition, his laboratory continues research in the area of antibody engineering that led to the development of the first recombinant, membrane active immunotoxin. Current research in this area addresses the unique anti-tumour activity of a monoclonal antibody targeting human kappa light chains. Commercial development of a therapy for multiple myeloma (an incurable blood cancer) based on this antibody, is being undertaken through a UTS spin-off company, PacMab Ltd.
