Defining the roles of the chemotactic receptor EBI2 for the regulation of leukocyte migration and the generation of immunity [ 2014 - 2018 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Dominique Gatto (Principal investigator)

Brief description The proposed study aims at improving our understanding of the role of the immune cell receptor Epstein-Barr virus-induced gene 2 (EBI2) in guiding the movement of white blood cells during immune responses. The project will investigate the function of EBI2 in the control of infectious diseases and its regulation on human immune cells. These insights have the potential to create new therapeutic approaches to treat human autoimmune and inflammatory diseases and improve vaccine design.
