Research direction: |
---|
Our research lies at the field of innate immune recognition and inflammation. We focus on the molecular mechanisms of nucleic-acid sensing via Toll-like receptors (TLRs) underlying infections, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmunity. We also hope to better understand the modulation of immune cell functions through nucleic acid-sensing signaling during viral infections, as well as develop new strategies in therapeutics of inflammatory diseases. |

The laboratory focuses on two and intertwined aspects of studies, i.e., immunogenetics and viral immunopathology. Two typical disease model systems.
