Research group Quantitative systems immunology

Achievements

In particular, we have derived various proteomics technologies that in an off the shelf manner allow to derive protein colocalization in the cell membrane and intracellularly (Nature Communcations, 2021; Nature Protocols, 2023). Such technologies provide the basis for decoding the receptor interactome in the immune-cancer interaction (Trends in Immunology, 2026).
