Brief description Major breakthroughs in cancer and autoimmunity require understanding the molecular basis of by which cell behaviour is controlled. We now know the key molecular players, but still need to determine how they interact within the cell to develop the best treatments and diagnostics. Recent breakthroughs now enable us to “watch” molecular interactions within the cell. We will use these approaches to determine how a key molecular switch is regulated in immune cells and cancer cells.
