Linterman ended up staying at ANU for a year to work on human genetics, before deciding to complete a doctorate.
[6] Linterman formed a research group at the Babraham Institute, where she studies germinal centre biology and how the immune system responds to vaccination.
[7][8] Germinal centres are sites within biological tissue (e.g. in the spleen, tonsils and lymph nodes) where B cells reproduce, replicate and differentiate as the immune system responds to infection.
