| Research Interests: | 1. Development of cellular innate immunity against commensals of the skin (staphylococci) and respiratory/ intestinal tract (streptococci) at the beginning of life in humans and mice. 2. Receptor-based recognition of bacterial effectors, in particular lipopetides and cytolysins, by macrophages and neutrophils. The particular focus lies on Toll-like receptor signaling and the inflammasome. 3. Cell-fate decisions in monocytes/ macrophages, and the impact of these processes on site specific immunity against bacteria (streptococci, staphylococci, mycobacteria). |
