Introduction of
Who we are
The Immunology Translational Research Programme aims to understand the role of the immune system in health and diseases and its regulation with the goal of enabling discovery and development of more effective immunotherapy, new treatment guidelines and diagnostic tests for patients with disease-specific problems such as autoimmune and airway diseases, cancer, chronic inflammation, infections and organ / tissue transplantation.
