Irtg 1911 - Immunoregulation of Inflammation in Allergy and Infection

the interface between innate and adaptive immunity plays an important role for the initiation, perpetuation and resolution of chronic infections and allergic diseases. accordingly, novel humoral and cellular signaling pathways have been identified in the research program in the context of allergic and infectious disease-related inflammation in vivo in defined disease models and at the molecular level. in the future will also consider environmental factors that can regulate the immune response towards allergens and pathogens through modulation of the microbiome composition. within our research training group the doctoral researchers clearly benefit from the broad spectrum of in vitro systems and in vivo models of inflammatory diseases and the expertise of the irtg researchers within the fields of allergy and infection research. to better understand the similarities and the differences of the complex immunological networks underlying allergic and infection-associated inflammation, system
