I am interested in determining the molecular basis of immune recognition of foreign and self-antigens in the context of viral, tumor and auto-immunity as well as transplantation. In addition to fundamental observations this knowledge is also applied in va
The applicant's research is aimed at delineating the molecular mechanisms of action of steroid hormones in the pathogenesis of breast and prostate cancer with the goal of developing new diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic response parameters of clinica
I am a medical oncologist and tumour immunologist, dedicated to basic and translational clinical research particularly in the field of urological cancer and also in melanoma.
I am a cellular immunologist with expertise in antigen processing-presentation, CTL determinant selection and immunodominance, T cell differentiation and, cancer immunotherapeutic trials and cancer vaccine development.
I am an immunologist with a background in virology and peptide chemistry and my work is therefore inter-disciplinary but focused on the design of synthetic, epitope-based vaccines against infectious agents particularly influenza and hepatitis C viruses an
My research straddles biochemistry, cell biology and immunology. I am interested in the mechanisms of antigen presentation by dendritic cells, and the functions of the cystatin family of protease inhibitors.
