Uncovering how our genes regulate immune cell activity during allergies.
The Lamiable Research Team explores how the subtle genetic changes that goes on within immune cells, particularly dendritic cells and T-cells, can trigger allergic and inflammatory diseases.
Using advanced bioinformatics and powerful tools such as CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, the team maps out the genetic circuits responsible for driving allergic responses. By pinpointing which genes are involved, their goal is to design new strategies to prevent the development of allergic disease.
Research areas
- Allergic and inflammatory disease
- Transcriptomic analysis of immune cells
Research projects
- Functional and transcriptomic plasticity of dendritic cells during allergic and non-allergic immune responses
