Defining the Epigenomic Immune Cell Landscape

Our Goals

We answer questions in fundamental and translational immunology using systems biology tools. Our goal is to understand how the immune system fights cancer and infections and what happens when it is forced to battle both at the same time.

1

Decoding Human Immune Responses

Our aim is to unravel the complexities of atypical immune responses, particularly in infants, cancer patients, and those with infections. Merging human immunology, systems biology, and AI, we're transforming our lab into a hub of innovation and discovery.

2

Developing Vaccine Strategies that Work for Everyone

Leveraging our insights into the immune system, we are on a mission to develop strategies for personalized vaccination regimens and synergistic combination therapies that provide effective vaccine protection to cancer patients.

3

Fusing Immunology with Technology

We are merging AI with single-cell genomics approaches and multi-omics tools to explore new depths of the immune system. Our lab is a dynamic hub dedicated to advancing the possibilities in immunological research using innovative technology and human systems (organoids, clinical trials).

Our Philosophy:

In our lab, we nurture future leaders in immunology, emphasizing creativity, independence, and collaborative excellence. With diverse expertise and a global network, we are collectively driving forward crucial discoveries in immunity to infectious diseases, vaccines, and cancer. Join us on this transformative journey.
