Research Interests

Immunopathology and Cancer - recent investigations on Langerhans cells/dendritic cells and immune modulation associated with ultraviolet light, carcinogenesis and applications to autoimmune control. Cancer studies include experimental melanoma, tumour development and metastases. Psychoneuroimmunology - immune changes in personnel in the Antarctic. Professor Muller's research reflected in some 165 research papers.
