Flavius Martin Senior Scientist, Myeloid Group Leader: Immunology |
"The overall laboratory interest is to identify and decipher the biology of cells, pathways and molecules involved in human autoimmune and allergic diseases. We are interested in the pathogenic role of myeloid cells (inflammatory macrophages and conventional dendritic cells) in immunologic diseases and in rheumatoid arthritis in particular. Current work focuses on several genes expressed in these cells that play roles in normal and pathogenic immune responses. In addition, we have a long term interest in B-lymphocyte biology with focus on manipulating and optimizing tools for B-cell immunotherapy and their clinical applications."
