Research Group Head, Molecular Immunity

Centre for innate Immunity and Infectious Diseases, Hudson Institute of Medical Research

Dr Anthony Sadler is an expert in innate immunity. After completing his early research training in microbial genetics at the University of Canterbury and virology at the University of Otago (New Zealand), he travelled to the USA where he conducted postdoctoral research into host immune responses to microbial pathogens at the Centre for Cancer Biology within the Learner Research Institute. In 2007, Dr Sadler relocated to Australia, where he took up a position as a Senior Research Fellow within the Centre for Cancer Research at the Hudson Institute of Medical Research. His research group investigates innate immune responses that drive inflammation. Dr Sadler’s research has advanced our knowledge of the regulation of cell signalling pathways that control responses to our environment. His research aims to characterise mechanisms that cause inflammation, in order to identify strategies to curb inflammatory pathologies and ensuing disease.
