Odette M Shaw
Dr Odette Shaw is an immunologist in the Immune Health & Physical Performance team at the New Zealand Institute for Plant & Food Research Limited. Odette graduated with a PhD in Anatomy from the University of Otago, examining the effect of modulating inflammation following ischaemic brain injury. She then shifted focus and countries to undertake research on inflammation in lung disease at the Lung Institute of Western Australia. She continued working on lung inflammation and immunology at the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research before joining PFR. As part of her research Odette has developed an interest in the ability of plant phytochemicals to alter the innate immune system’s response to allergens and the effects on tissue repair mechanisms, particularly the ability to ameliorate fibrosis. Dr Shaw has published over 18 peer-reviewed manuscripts on inflammation, tissue repair and the immune system.
