Dr Beckie Ingram

School of Medicine, Dentistry and Biomedical Sciences

Dr Ingram’s research focuses on characterizing the lymphocytic response to bacterial infection, particularly T cells in order facilitate rational vaccine design. 

Recently, she has developed and interested in innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), and was the first to demonstrate that ILC3s drive the inflammatory response within the lung during acute bacterial infection, if this response is dysregulated in leads to lung injury.  Dr Ingram has extensive expertise in murine in vivo infection models.
