AusPIPS presents "PIDs: More than Just a Single Disease"

Improving the lives of people with Primary Immune Deficiency

Dr Emily Edwards

Dr Emily Edwards is committed to helping people, in particular those living with a disorder called 'Primary Immune Deficiency', or PID. Her research, in Monash University's Department of Immunology and Pathology, is on the impact of genetic mutations on B cell differentiation and function in patients with primary immunodeficiencies.

She has recently been elected Vice-President of Australia Patient Immunodeficiency Patient Support (AusPIPS) Inc., a not-for-profit registered charity, formed by a collective of people who either suffer from or care for others with PID, to provide advocacy, medical advice and support for PID patients on a voluntary basis.
