Division of Immunobiology

T lymphocytes (T cells) are key cellular players in the regulation and execution of immune responses in response to foreign pathogens and also against endogenous danger such as cancer cells. Our long-term research interest is to characterize molecular mechanisms that regulate the development, differentiation and effector function of T lymphocytes. With our studies we aim to provide important and medical-relevant insight into the regulation of T cell-mediated immunity. The Division of Immunobiology is formed by three research groups (for information about individual groups click the names of the PIs):

» Wilfried Ellmeier (head of division)
» Nicole Boucheron
» Shinya Sakaguchi
