DESCRIPTION:Francesca Di Cara (University Avenue Halifax\, NS\, Canada)\nD
 r. Di Cara’s research program aims to define the mechanisms by which  p
 eroxisomes\, important metabolic organelles\, orchestrate the innate immun
 e responses.  Her group heavily relies on the use of the Drosophila mode
 l system  to explore the tissue-specific peroxisome contributions to imm
 unity.  Her work identified a novel and previously unexplored player in i
 nnate immunity.  Defining the roles of peroxisomes in regulating immune p
 rocesses has implications for our understanding of peroxisome metabolic s
 ignaling in inflammation\, immunodeficiency\, cancer and diabetes and open
 s a new unexplored field of the innate immunity. For more information go
