Main research projects:
- Studying the immunometabolic functions of parasite-derived molecules
- Investigating the role of protein glycosylation in adipocyte-macrophage crosstalk during obesity and infection
- Developing human liver 3D model(s) for studying the immune response to viral infection in the context of metabolic dysfunctions
Methodology and Tools:
- Murine models of infection and metabolic diseases
- In vivo metabolic phenotyping platform
- High dimensional flow cytometry in blood and metabolic organs
- In vitro (co-)culture systems of primary murine/human metabolic and immune cells
- Molecular and genetic tools for analysis of signalling pathways
