Main interest: immunology and genetics of (myco)bacterial infections.
● Clinical research focus:
– Identification of genetic defects in patients with the immunodeficiency Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD).
– Development of therapeutic strategies to treat MSMD patients.
● Basic research focus:
– Development of in vitro expression models to study the effects of variations and mutations in the IL-12/IFN-gamma signaling pathways
– Study the IL-12/IFN-gamma signaling pathways and the cell types involved (in healthy individuals)
– Identify genes and molecules involved in host susceptibility to (bacterial) infections.
