Molecular responses of cells to pathophysiological stimuli are pivotal in  host-pathogen interactions, and key to cellular and organismal health. In this research area, we are interested in understanding interfaces among different immune and host cells with pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and antigens. A clear comprehension of this interplay is the fundamental basis for the design of improved treatment options against inflammatory and autoimmune dispositions, or infectious diseases. By generating knowledge that leads to the development of novel therapies, we will contribute to biomedical sustainability and well-being of our society.
