Our institute is one of the leading centres for clinically oriented immunological research. Our multidisciplinary team of biologists, data scientists, and physicians works closely together on current challenges in clinical immunology research, particularly in inflammatory arthritis. Through advanced in vivo imaging techniques, omics profiling and molecular biological modelling, we seek to unveil the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying disease resistance, remission, and relapse. Our specialization is the activation and reprogramming of fibroblasts in rheumatic diseases.
