Carving a Niche: From Malaria to Tuberculosis & MAIT Cells
Dr. Muki Shey is a Chief Research Scientist (at the Associate Professor level) and recipient of the Wellcome Intermediate Fellowship in Public Health & Tropical Medicine at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. In this episode, starting from his humble beginnings in Cameroun, he shares his journey and evolution into embracing the mucosal-associated invariant T cells (MAIT cells) as a researcher in South Africa. His research, which now explores the role of these unconventional T cells in protection from infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, will contribute to our knowledge of how to make more effective vaccines against tuberculosis.
