Apply now to join our team as a doctoral candidate! Our research focuses on autoimmune diseases, particularly inflammatory arthritis. We study mesenchymal cells in inflammation-driven immune diseases.

Our multidisciplinary team operates at the intersection of clinical, translational, and mechanistic research. We work with patient cohorts and human tissue samples, utilising cutting-edge technologies. Through advanced omics profiling and molecular biology modelling, we seek to unveil the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying disease resistance, remission, and relapse.
