An overarching theme of our current research are cellular, molecular and signaling processes underpinning immune homeostasis. That mainly concerns (i) the mechanisms guiding the process of central and peripheral T cell tolerance and autoimmunity; (ii) initiation of T cell activation; (iii) embryonic hematopoiesis, and (iv) the role of Toll-like receptors in these processes.
