Research Area A
In Research Area A, we will identify key factors that mediate the transition from health to autoimmunity and ultimately to the clinical manifestation of autoimmune disease. This will be the basis for the development of sensitive and specific biomarkers. For subsequent clinical translation, especially in diagnostics, we have a long- standing cooperation with industry partners.
Details for each project are provided on the left.
