Regulation of Gene Expression during Viral Infection- Gerald McInerney Group
Our research concerns the study of the interactions between viruses and their host cells in the early stages of infection. Using Semliki Forest virus as a model, we are exploring the involvement of cellular pathways such as autophagy, stress granules and the type I interferon system in the cellular responses to viral infection.

Genetic basis for B and T cell recognition and function- Gunilla Karlsson Hedestam Group
Our research focuses on adaptive immune responses and qualitative properties of B- and T-cell repertoires. A specific interest in the group is to understand individual variation in germline V, D and J genes and how this influences antigen-specific responses in the context of infection, vaccination and autoimmunity.

Inflammatory responses in cancer and autoimmunity- Mikael Karlsson's Group
Autoinflammation is part of several types of diseases. It drives auto-reactive B cells that contribute to autoimmune disease and create an environment in which tumors are allowed to grow. Our group studies the innate mechanism that are connected to this with special focus on B cells and Macrophages.

Immunodeficiency Diseases- Lisa Westerberg Group
The overall goal of our research is to understand how a compromised immune system leads to immunodeficiency with high incidence of autoimmunity and hematological cancers. We have a particular focus on how inborn mutations in actin regulators affect immune cell-cell communication, trafficking, and maintenance of genomic stability. Our research aims at revealing critical mechanisms for correct regulation of the immune system in health and disease and to identifying new targets for therapy.

Computational Virology and Immunology - Ben Murrell Research Group
We work across the computational/experimental divide, currently focusing on developing probabilistic models and inference algorithms for studying evolving systems (including viruses and the immune responses against them) and designing interventions.

Immunological memory of Innate Lymphoid Cells- Itziar Martinez Gonzalez Project
Our research interests are focused in the study of the biology of memory Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC2s) in type 2 immunity.

Jonathan Coquet Group
Our group is interested in how T cells develop and differentiate in response to antigens and cytokines. In particular, the group is focused on understanding the role of T cells in allergy and cancer.

The development of effective vaccines against HIV and other highly variable viruses for which there are no licensed vaccines is a major global health priority. The ability to pre-emptively vaccinate against clades of viruses with pandemic potential could also prevent another global pandemic.
