Welcome to David Tarlinton, new HOD of Immunology & Pathology!

We welcome Professor David Tarlinton, our new Head of Department of Immunology and Pathology in the Faculty of Medicine, based at the Central Clinical School. David is one of Australia's foremost B-cell immunologists and comes to us after a very successful time at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute.

David's research interests particularly focus on B cell memory - what triggers the formation of memory; and how, in the case of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, memory might be reversed so the immune system is no longer primed.
