About me
I am an immunologist, active in allergy research since 1997. My own research has conserned allergens and immune regulation in allergy and inflammatory diseases. My main present research interests are 1) immune modulation by vaccination, in particular allergen specific immunotherapy, and 2) characterisation of T-cell responses to autoantigens. Competence in protein chemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, immunology and clinical evaluation. Experience on characterisation of T-cell responses, allergen characterisation, experimental allergy/asthma models, vaccine-/adjuvant research and clinical trials.
