Immunity Theme

Immunity theme investigators are developing immunological monitoring tools to predict prognosis and therapeutic response to novel agents in:

  • autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis;
  • skin diseases including psoriasis and atopic dermatitis;
  • immunodeficiency syndromes; 
  • chronic viral infection

We are also developing immunotherapy for HIV-1 and HCV infection (in collaboration with vaccines and cohorts themes) using novel therapeutic vaccines.

A newly established Translational Immunology Laboratory provides scientific and technical support for Immunity theme and other BRC projects.
