The responsibilities
Our group is working at understanding how immune responses are regulated and how innate immune responses influence adaptive immune response. For that, we use viruses, virus-like particles and bacteria that have been used to probe the protective capacity of the induced immune responses. We offer insights into our research aiming at creating and developing vaccines for human and animal purposes as well as in understanding basic immunology mechanisms.
