Infectious diseases, caused by various microorganisms, have major medical, social and economic consequences and are a major cause of death worldwide. We are interested in understanding complex host-pathogen interactions by analyzing the ways of how the immune system recognizes and reacts towards pathogenic infections resulting in eradication or control.
