Dr. Jack Auty

I am a lecturer at the University of Tasmania and my videos are educational content about how the body works and how this goes wrong in disease. I am also a researcher investigating the innate immune system with a  particular focus on how inflammation can contribute to disease.

Research projects

How do microplastics affect human health and the health of wildlife?

How does inflammation contribute to Alzheimer’s disease?

Developing novel drugs or re-purposing existing drugs to fight inflammatory disease.

How does the body control the inflammatory response?

If you are a national or international student interested in doing an Honours, Masters or Ph.D. research project on any of these topics please send an email to jack.auty@UTAS.edu.au for more information.
