Scientific summary
Our goal is to better understand the biology of human antigen-presenting cells (dendritic cells, macrophages and monocytes) in health and pathology, in order to manipulate the properties of these cells for disease treatment, in particular for cancer and inflammatory diseases. To achieve this, we combine studies of human cells directly isolated from tissues, in vitro models using human cells, and in vivo models in mice.
