Research interests

Our research focuses on the fields of cutaneous immunobiology, immunodermatology and allergology as well as cutaneous immunopharmacology. Our work contributed greatly to the current  understanding of structure and functions of the skin immune system under physiological and pathological conditions and formed the basis for new strategies in the treatment of inflammatory and neoplastic skin diseases.
