Research aim

It is our goal to improve the diagnosis and treatment of immune-related diseases with a focus on Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

About us

We aim to increase our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying Immune related diseases such as Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), and translating these findings into novel therapeutics. JIA is a disease that affects 1/1000 children and can lead to impaired severe loss of quality of life. Our group combines both fundamental and clinically orientated research projects. We believe that bringing these fields of research, and researchers, together facilitates translational research allowing for more efficient transition of experimental findings to the clinic.
