Research

Our research is focused on human Dendritic cells (DCs), a specialized family of antigen presenting cells that elicit immunity to infections and tolerance to self. DCs are composed of subsets endowed with unique functional properties. Using cellular and molecular techniques we study the mechanisms by which distinct human DC subsets control immunity and tolerance, and use this information to devise immune strategies for therapeutic intervention in chronic conditions such as cancer and autoimmunity.
