Research areas
Kwok Wun is a Centre PhD student working on a Centre innate immunity project investigating the energetic importance of the residues on the human semi-invariant Natural Killer T (NKT) cell receptor when recognising the human CD1d molecule presenting glycolipid, galactosylcermide.

The research is a continuation of the highly successful work Professor Jamie Rossjohn's group published in Nature in June 2007. Centre Chief Investigator and ARC Federation Fellow Professor Jamie Rossjohn is his supervisor.

Kwok, who started his candidature early in 2007, is originally from Singapore but completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Melbourne and an honours degree with the Biota Structural Biology Group at the St Vincent's Institute in Melbourne, Fitzroy.
