Immunology
Focus of research

The research focuses on understanding the biology of innate lymphoid cells which are important regulators and effectors of tissue immunity, homeostasis remodeling and repair. A second program is directed at optimising development of human immune system mice and a third to generate fully human monoclonal antibodies against tumor antigens
