Immunological aspects of host-pathogen interactions
We explore how the immune system adapts and regulates itself across different contexts such as infection, inflammation, autoimmunity and cancer. Our work focuses on how regulatory T cells (Tregs) adjust their functions to control inflammation and contribute to tissue repair or tumor growth. In addition, by examining innate acting T cells, we investigate how prior infections influence future immune responses to unrelated immune challenges.
To achieve this, we use a wide variety of techniques including transcriptomics, high-dimensional flow cytometry, in vitro and in vivo immunological assays, and animal models.
Together, these studies help us understand the immunological aspects of protection, repair, and overactivity.
