Supervisor: Ton Schumacher
Research interests
We study:
1) how efficient T cell responses are established
2) how a memory T cell is kept in a (semi)-active state on a molecular level
3) how Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs) are activated upon bacterial and viral encounter on a molecular level
Technology
Cell cultures, retroviral and lentiviral transductions of T cells and APCs, Flow cytometry, protein and mRNA analysis, in vitro and in vivo studies of immune responses
