Institute\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/hudson.org.au\/research-centre\/centre-for-innate-immunity-infectious-diseases\/\">Centre for Innate Immunity and Infectious Diseases<\/a> (CiiiD) as Research Group Heads, bringing impressive resum\u00e9s and exciting research opportunities with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their arrival further strengthens Hudson Institute\u2019s leadership in inflammation research, following the recent arrival of <a href=\"https:\/\/hudson.org.au\/researcher-profile\/seth-masters\/\">Professor Seth Masters<\/a>, who recently took up the reins as Head of CiiiD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-inflammation-research-leaders\">Inflammation research leaders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof Walkley joins Hudson Institute from St Vincent\u2019s

Neurodegeneration Research group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Professor Hartland said, \u201cWe are delighted that Dr Davidson

understand and treat disorders associated with inflammation, in this case primarily affecting the brain and nervous system.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof Walkley was attracted to Hudson Institute by its reputation as Australia\u2019s national centre of excellence in research into innate immunity and inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy research focusses on understanding how RNA interacts with the innate immune system,\u201d he said. \u201cThe expertise and research groups at Hudson Institute are highly complementary to our work and will allow us to explore this topic in greater detail than would otherwise be possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Davidson focusses on inflammasomes and autoinflammatory disease, specifically Type I Interferon (IFNab) and its effects on the nervous system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have always wanted to open a&nbsp;lab in a&nbsp;place that does world class inflammatory disease research,&nbsp;so I am delighted to be joining the Centre for Innate Immunity and Infectious Diseases at the Hudson Institute,\u201d Dr Davidson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI feel very privileged that I will be working with so many scientists whose research I&#8217;ve spent my career citing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both new Research Group Heads will take up their positions in July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n            <div class=\"inline-block-disease-snackbar
