About me

  • I am an immunologist, active in allergy research since 1997. My own research
    has conserned allergens and immune regulation in allergy and inflammatory
    diseases. My main present research interests are 1) immune modulation by
    vaccination, in particular allergen specific immunotherapy, and 2)
    characterisation of T-cell responses to autoantigens. Competence in protein
    chemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, immunology and clinical
    evaluation. Experience on characterisation of T-cell responses, allergen
    characterisation, experimental allergy/asthma models, vaccine-/adjuvant
    research and clinical trials.

    vasoactive intestinal peptide -with special emphasis on their biosynthesis”
