Research
We are interested in host responses to infection and virus-host interactions.
We aim to understand how we fight viral infections and what processes are effective to then use this information to develop novel treatments.
We pay particular attention to innate immune responses and emerging fields such as the ubiquitin system and nucleic acid sensing.
We use poxviruses as model viruses because of their unique position as pathogens as well as therapeutic vectors.
Since 2022 we are contributing to understand the resurgence of mpox as a global human disease.
