We are investigating novel signalling pathways and the influence of redox-regulation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). 

Our research team is exploring the phenomena of anergy (immunological unresponsiveness) upon exposure of microbial and self-antigens, as well as synergy (microenvironmental support) in the leukemogenesis of CLL.

Cell and Molecular Biology

Molecular Biology research focus on  how molecules and systems within cells interact. Of special interest is the flow of genetic information from DNA via RNA to protein synthesis, and how these processes are regulated.
