  • antigen presentation
  • endocytosis
  • metaflammation
In our group, we investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying antigen presentation. Of particular interest is the role of endocytosis receptors and their influence on antigen uptake, routing, processing and presentation., Additionally, we are investigating immunoregulatory roles of endocytosis receptors in cellular metabolism and in the context of metaflammation.
