Cluster I

Immune Intervention and Inflammation

At present, there is no clear evidence of the origin and conditions leading to autoimmune diseases. The main focus of this cluster is on the immune response, with an ultimate view on how its manipulation under several conditions could bring about therapeutic approaches. We will join forces to deepen our understanding of the immune processes leading to autoimmune disorders in Parkinson’s disease, lupus, and multiple sclerosis (MS).

Research Lines

Mechanism of autoimmunity

Studies to deepen our understanding of the immune processes that lead to autoimmune disorders.

Epigenetics and autoimmunity

Studies on the mechanism of how the stability of lymphocytes is controlled by epigenetic changes in promoter genes encoding master transcription factors.
