Scientific Interests:

All organisms are constantly exposed to potentially harmful agents and have developed defense mechanisms in order to controlled them, such mechanisms are evolutionary conserved and represent the basis of the immune system. In the laboratory we are interested in understanding at the molecular and cellular level the immune response in homeostasis as well as in bacterial, parasitic, viral infections, cancer and autoimmunity using mouse models including transgenic, reporter and deficient lines (conditional or total). The final goal of our research is to use this knowledge to develop immunotherapies to help ameliorate different pathologies.
