The research of the group of Mirjam van der Burg focusses on inborn errors of immunity, especially severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), B-cell deficiencies and DNA repair disorders. The main aim is to provide a better understanding of the effect of monogenetic defects on B and T-cell differentiation and antigen receptor repertoire formation. The studies are directly linked to early diagnosis of SCID via newborn screening and immune reconstitution after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
