Brief Description of Research Interest:
 

During my PhD I worked on innate immune cells, especially dendritic cells, both form mouse and human origins. I studied both in vitro and in vivo the crosstalk between integrated stress response and Toll-like receptors signaling. During my postdoc I became interested in neuroimmunology. I am especially interested in studying the cooperation with the different cell types in the brain and how this affect both the immunity of the central nervous system and the neuronal function. I recently moved to a new postdoc, where I'm studying the link between microbiota and autoimmunity.
