Strategic Focus

The group researches chronic inflammatory diseases. It uses animal models (mainly mice) of infectious chronic (e.g., cutaneous Leishmaniasis), allergic (e.g., allergic asthma), metabolic (such as atherosclerosis and diet-induced obesity), and autoimmune (such as multiple sclerosis and Psoriasis) inflammation. Such models are used to research basic aspects of the disease and as a platform for the preclinical development of vaccines, immunotherapies, and other measures of prophylactic and therapeutic interventions.

Research Areas and Topics

  • Immune modulation in atherosclerosis.
  • Immune modulation in allergic inflammation of airways.
  • Immune modulation in leishmaniasis.
  • Immune modulation in autoimmunity.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Good health and well-being
