Brief description Macrophages are important white blood cells of the immune system. They trigger inflammatory responses to infection or injury, but prolonged inflammatory responses can lead to chronic diseases. In this project we aim to better understand how macrophages sense the outside environment, how external signals trigger inflammatory processes, how this leads to diseases such as autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, cancer and cardiovascular diseases, and how to control them with drugs.
