Dr Mahima Swamy, from Bangalore, one of the University of Dundee\u2019s most revered experts within their School of Life Sciences, has been named as one of the rising stars of European science. Due to her research, she has been chosen to join the prestigious European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) Young Investigator network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based within the University\u2019s Medical Research Council Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit (MRC-PPU), Dr Swamy heads a research group that investigates immune responses in the intestine and joins 23 other researchers to become a part of the network of 135 current and 390 former members of the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said, \u201cI am really excited to be a part of this network and meet all the dynamic young scientists doing cutting-edge research across Europe. I believe that being a part of this esteemed group will help our research immensely, and I am very grateful to my lab and my mentors for the support that got me this award.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A key part of Dr. Swamy\u2019s work is the study of inflammatory bowel diseases and how these can be prompted by the body\u2019s immune system attacking the gut lining in the absence of infection. Research in the Swamy group aims to address how we can better harness the gut immune system to protect against harmful invasion, but also prevent it from damaging the gut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The EMBO Young Investigator programme supports the scientific endeavours of researchers who have become laboratory group leaders in the past four years. EMBO Young Investigators are selected by a team of EMBO members for the high standard of their research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is marvellous news that Mahima has been awarded a prestigious EMBO award,\u201d said Professor Dario Alessi, Director of the MRC-PPU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is well-deserved recognition and a huge boost for the vital research that Mahima is undertaking on deciphering the biological roles of the enigmatic Intraepithelial lymphocytes that patrol the intestinal epithelium. Mahima\u2019s work is contributing to improved understanding, treatment and diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The work of Dr Swamy is just part of the reason the University of Dundee remains on the cutting edge of new research and technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
