Tuberculosis
The aim of this work, in collaboration with Dr. Bjoern Peters, is to identify and characterize T cell epitopes from Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vaccination and active infection (NIH/NIAID, 75N93019C00067). We are also interested in defining human immune signatures of different…
Neurodegenerative Diseases
The aim of this work funded by Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP), in collaboration with Dr. Alessandro Sette, is to investigate T cell reactivity and disease progression in Parkinson’s disease. We are also interested in characterizing T cell reactivity in…
