Aim of Research: Control of B cell memory and development of immunotherapy
The aim of our research is to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that govern differentiation and maintenance of the immune memory B cells. Since we have studied the role of the Bcl6 gene product in memory B cell development through the germinal centers‚ we will continue to study these molecular mechanisms. We will also expand on vaccine development for infectious diseases and allergies. Through these research activities‚ we will eagerly train and promote young doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in the fields of basic immunology.
