My lab explores mechanisms that drive immune recognition in human disease. It is becoming increasingly clear that many diseases have an inflammatory component to them that may be treatable by immune response modification. Cancer is one such disease, that moreover touches on many aspects of immune recognition. Our approach to finding mechanisms in human disease is to study common traits in diseases of limited complexity (primary immunodeficiencies presenting with autoinflammation) and conditions of increasing complexity (rheumatoid disorders, cancer). From 2003-2008, my laboratory was located at Harvard Medical School/Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, USA. Since 2008, we are located at the UMC-Utrecht.
