Groups: Arens Lab / T cell regulation

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
Borst & Xiao & Salerno Lab / Tumor biology and immunology

Our research aims to delineate cellular and molecular processes that govern adaptive immunity
Eikmans Lab / Reproductive Immunology

We aim to understand how the pregnant woman immunologically tolerates her baby, and what mechanisms account for pregnancy complications
Ossendorp Lab / Tumor Immunology

Immunotherapy of cancer: immunological mechanisms and specific therapeutic strategies
Roelen Lab / Transplant Immunology

Our research focuses on the prevention, detection and treatment of HLA sensitization in transplant recipients
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
Van der Veen Lab / Nucleic acid immunity

Nucleic acid sensing in viral infection and sterile inflammation
Van Dongen Lab / Immune monitoring

Monitoring of immune cell populations during health, disease and (targeted) treatment
Van Unen Lab / Mucosal Immunology

We study the development and function of the mucosal immune system in health and disease
Verdoes Lab / Chemical Immunology

The development of chemical tools to understand and to manipulate the immune system
