Researcher Profile & Settings

Research

    Overview of research:
    My research is focused on regulation mechanisms of cytokine production via Toll-like receptors in the innate immune system by using mouse models. Current project is to study the regulation of cytokine production via the posttranscriptional control of the novel cytokine trafficking mediator in plasmacytoid dendritic cells.
