Advances in the field of rheumatology and immunology are made based on continuous research in this discipline. The division engages in the entire range of university research (from basic to clinical). Its research focuses on translational T-cell research, imaging and innovative care for patients with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) and Sjögren's syndrome.
The research laboratories in our division specialize in the characterization of human and murine lymphocytes. We investigate the role of T and B cells in autoimmune diseases using functional cell culture experiments, flow cytometry and in vivo models.
