Current Research
Fusion protein ligand specific for the T cell costimulatory receptor CD28
We are investigating the potential autoimmune nature of the CD8+ T cell response, as well as examining other factors that may contribute to the development of chronic liver disease, such as intestinal microbiota. We are interested in the identification of pathways that are involved in the progression from chronic liver disease to liver cancer.
