Overview
About the programme
The individual research projects in this Fine-Tuners of the Adaptive Immune Response Research Training Group at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) will use genome-wide transcriptome analysis, modern imaging techniques, transgenic mouse technologies and CRISPR-mediated genome editing to identify and characterize new fine-tuners of adaptive immune responses and immune memory.
Programme Structure
Research projects include:
- Molecular control of antigen presentation and cell migration during adaptive immunity
- Role of aryl hydrocarbon receptor for the induction of tolerogenic DCs
- Regulation of immune complex-mediated DC-dependent immune responses by DCIR
- Metabolic reprogramming of DCs during the maintenance of tolerance
- Effect of the metabolite itaconate on T cell activation and immune tolerance
- Tuning of adaptive immune responses by TNFα at the level of C-type lectin receptor expression
- Glycolytic flux as a checkpoint of Th1 differentiation
