Additional Information
The group is interested in the study of the immune response from a multidisciplinary perspective that includes genomic, biochemical, proteomic, in vivo and biotechnological models aimed at the design of therapeutic strategies against various chronic, infectious and rare diseases that have a clear immunological component in their etiology.
The current specific objectives focus on:
- Antigenic presentation: Identification of antigenic presentation rules for their application in the design of therapeutic treatments including vaccines.
- Study of CD69 function and its regulation; its use as a therapeutic target in the mobilization of hematopoietic precursors and in the potentiation of the immune response mediated by CD69 with the potentiation of vaccines using the vaccinia virus as a vector.
