Expertise

Zoology

We are interested in the function of Dendritic cell in the immune system during health and disease. We study how cytokines coordinate immune homeostasis and responses, and how they stimulate dendritic cells in vitro and in different models of cancer, inflammatory and autoimmune disease, as well as allograft rejection.
