Research groups

Inflammatory bowel diseases

Research aim

Our research is focused on the elucidation of the pathogenesis of Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), personalized medicine and on a severe complication of IBD: colitis-associated colorectal carcinoma.

Go to group

Tissue immune microenvironment: spatial biology

Research aim

Understand the immune mechanisms that underly cancer and inflammatory disease, to impact diagnosis and therapeutic strategies in patients.

Go to group

Tissue immunology

Research aim

Our mission is to comprehensively understand, monitor, and target immune-mediated inflammatory diseases such as IBD, AD and systemic autoimmune diseases. We aim to unravel (tissue) immune dysregulation and induce long-lasting disease modification.

Go to group

Primary immunodeficiency

Research aim

To address unmet medical needs by detecting novel primary immunodeficiency, and improving clinical practice by optimizing diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of disease.
