Our research focus in RESIST is to understand the contribution of \u03b3\u03b4 T cells to the immune response that protects us from infectious disease. Specifically, we cooperate within the RESIST Consortium to monitor a fascinating but not very well explored type of T cells, namely \u03b3\u03b4 T cells, in the course of viral infections including hepatitis B and herpes virus infections. These projects are on the one hand designed to yield fundamental information about the biology of \u03b3\u03b4 T cells, and on the other hand, they should pave the way to design novel therapeutic strategies based on specific activation and adoptive transfer of \u03b3\u03b4 T cells.<\/p>\n

In previous studies, we showed that throughout life, every person develops his\/ her own very personal set of \u03b3\u03b4 T cells, which may contribute to different individual infection susceptibility. Over the course of the next six years, we would thus like to discover ways to manipulate and optimize individual \u03b3\u03b4 T cell repertoires with the goal to protect from pathogens and to prevent autoimmune disease.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
