Groups

Arens Lab / T cell regulation

We study the molecular and cellular regulation of T-cell responses and aim to use this knowledge to inform and improve immunotherapy
Eikmans Lab / Reproductive Immunology

We aim to understand how the pregnant woman immunologically tolerates her baby, and what mechanisms account for pregnancy complications
Heidt & Roelen Lab / Transplant Immunology

Our research focuses on the prevention, detection and treatment of HLA sensitization in transplant recipients
Ossendorp Lab / Tumor Immunology

Immunotherapy of cancer: immunological mechanisms and specific therapeutic strategies
Salerno Lab / Molecular Immunoregulation

We investigate the molecular mechanisms governing adaptive immunity, with a focus on post-transcriptional regulation of T cell function in health and disease.
Smits Lab / Infection and Lung Immunology

Impact of commensals and pathogens on inflammatory events in the lung
Staal Lab / Molecular Stem Cell biology and lymphoid development

Basic Science meets Gene Therapy
Trouw Lab / Complement and antibodies

From immunopathology to immunotherapy
Van der Maaden Lab / Pharmaceutical Immunology

Fusing pharmaceutical sciences and immunology to create transformative vaccines and delivery technologies for T cell induction and immune modulation, with a primary focus on cancer
