My main research interest lies in understanding the epigenetic and metabolic processes governing immune cell responses. We study these mechanisms using mouse models and patient material in the context of chromatinopaties caused by epigenetic enzyme deficiencies and gd T cell-based therapies. The aim of our research is to inform future therapeutic interventions.
