Professor Drakesmith's team is defining how hepcidin is modulated during infections, by testing which aspects of pathogen recognition by the host influence hepcidin synthesis. Their aim is to assess whether deliberately altering hepcidin can control experimental infections of iron-requiring bacterial strains.
