Our research aims to characterize the immunological features of human diseases and early human life in space and time. We develop and combine high-parametric protein profiling and imaging tools for immunophenotyping in various human specimen, ranging from diseased organ collections and rarely available embryonic tissues to systemic fluids such as blood plasma. By identifying and characterizing immune and other cell types in tissue space, we try to describe organ development in early human life, and we try to find blood and tissue-based biomarkers for human diseases.
