The immune-system protects our organism from agression by pathogens and cancer. Immune-responses need to be carefully controlled to adapt to the agression and to avoid "immune-pathology" such as autoimmune disease (e.g. type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis), allergy (e.g. asthma), and chronic inflammation (e.g. inflammatory bowel diseases)
Our immunology-team works on the molecular and cellular mechanisms that control immune responses. We thus contribute to the development of innovative therapies against immune-pathology. We also use our findings to develop an innovating experimental cellular immunotherapy against chronic graft-rejection |

t-lymphocyte immunobiology
We study mechanisms that control t lymphocyte development and differentiation and thus ensure protection of the organism against pathogens, cancer and immune-pathology
we thus help the development of novel therapies
against transplant-rejection, autoimmune diseases chronic inflammation and cancer
