Our Staff

The research program of the Immunology Section covers two areas: 1. We study innate and adaptive immune responses to viral infections, in particular infections of the liver, to better understand the pathogenesis of the disease and to develop vaccines and effective antiviral therapies. 2. We evaluate how hepatic and systemic immune responses are regulated by the gastrointestinal microbiome.
