Hepatoimmunology Group


Research

Elucidation of intra- and intercellular signaling networks involved in:

  • regulation of the systemic acute-phase response
  • mediating liver damage and orchestrating regeneration
  • influencing the activation state of macrophage populations in the liver
  • promoting metabolic liver disease and its progression to fibrosis and liver cancer
  • establishment of persistent viral infections
