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
