About us

We study molecular mechanisms that control inflammatory responses, with a focus on ubiquitin-mediated signalling. Our aim is to identify central regulatory proteins and investigate the mechanisms that control them, with the long-term vision to discover molecules that can stimulate or restrict these processes for a more “optimal” immune response in relation to host-defence to infection versus excessive inflammation and autoimmunity.
