Mechanisms of Immunomodulation
Central to my research efforts is to learn more about physiological and pathophysiological conditions of immune reactivity in different clinical states and in relation to the involved compartments of the body.
A longstanding interest of my research group concentrates on the issue of naturally occurring ways of immunomodulation as particularly operating in local immunity and on clinical conditions in consequence of inappropriate immune reactivity as observed after transplantation or in autoimmune diseases.
Identification of immunological deregulation as early as possibly and the understanding of the ongoing processes are pivotal for early diagnosis and the development as well as implementation of purposeful interference strategies.
