Research topics
Our research program is focused on:
(1) Early events during proximal T cell signalling and the role of lipid rafts in temporal and spatial coordination of Lck and Fyn function
(2) The role of innate immune molecules in embryonic homeostasis
(3) The role of antimicrobial peptides in health and disease
