Peter Murray is a senior group leader at the Max-Planck-Institute for Biochemistry in Martinsried, Germany (near Munich) where he moved in 2017 after 19 years at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. He is also an Honorary Professor in the medical faculty at the Technical University of Munich. Murray’s laboratory is focused on immune regulatory events mediated by metabolic crosstalk. He is best known for work on macrophages, IL-10 and arginine metabolism in immunity. Current research is his laboratory centers on how the immune system control ferroptosis and more specifically anti-ferroptosis through regulated amino acid metabolism. An extension of this work concerns pro-cancer effects of the immune system that suppress ferroptosis in stressed malignant cells.
