The laboratory is investigating how different types of programmed cell death regulate the development, differentiation and/or function of various immune cells, with a particular focus on B lymphocyte development. Moreover, the group explores how these pathways contribute to self-tolerance, autoimmunity, inflammatory diseases, protective immunity and/or malignancies.
