Short description of research profile

We aim to understand mechanisms of cell communication in the skin and other body barriers. We focus our attention on exosomes, a nanoscale vesicles secreted by epithelial cells and are interested in the message which these convey to the immune system. We hope that our research will lead to better therapeutic approaches for patients.

.

Scientific interests:

  •   communication between cells during immune responses

  •  role of epidermal barrier in health and disease
