Developing novel complement activation assays for application in basic and clinical research
Studying the cross-talk between complement and TLRs, in particular to the co-receptor CD14
Investigating the effect on inflammation by inhibiting complement activation and CD14 using human whole blood in vitro models and in vivo animal models of human diseases
Studying the “Thromboinflammation” and new complex whole blood models to reveal cross-talk between biological systems ex vivo
Studying complement activation in patients with diseases being tentative candidates for future complement intervention
Develop tools for evaluation of the effect of complement therapy in the clinic
