Exploring the innate immune system of bone marrow

我的工作主要集中在免疫系统的细胞上，这些细胞充当哨兵，警惕入侵的病原体和危险。这些细胞被称为树突状细胞。我特别感兴趣的是了解这些细胞如何在骨髓环境中发挥作用，以及它们如何感知病毒感染或组织内的癌细胞。我们的目标是了解它们在包括狼疮在内的特定疾病和白血病前期条件下的功能，以及在传染病和寄生虫病中的功能。

My work focuses on cells of the immune system that act as sentinels on the lookout for invading pathogens and danger. These cells are called dendritic cells. I am particularly interested in understanding how these cells function within the bone marrow environment and how they may sense viral infection or cancerous cells within this tissue. We aim to understand their function in specific diseases including Lupus and in pre-leukemia conditions, and also in infectious and parasitic diseases.
