Functional Genomics of Regulatory T cells - Novel Therapeutic Strategies for Immunomodulation

The main goal of the research plan is to understand how the immune system controls immune reactivity and balances self-tolerance versus an efficient immune defence. This could potentially lead to new understanding of key factors in the pathogenesis of hum an disease. Specifically, we aim to inves...
