The roles of the transcriptional regulators Id2 and Id3 in plasma cell differentiation and B cell memory [ 2013 - 2015 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Axel Kallies (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Dimitra Zotos

Brief description Antibody producing cells and memory B cells are crucial to successful vaccination and provide protection against infections. Development of both is controlled by factors that regulate gene activity, but the same factors are also involved in the development of blood cancers. Using new research tools and assays we will uncover the roles of the Id and E protein family of factors implicated in these processes, which may help in the design of new vaccination strategies and the treatment of blood cancers.
