Overview of NCMLS research themes

  • Theme 1
    Infection & Inflammation
    Our mission is to understand the complex molecular mechanisms of infectious, (auto)inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. We aim to use this knowledge to develop innovative tools for diagnostics, treatment, and prevention.

  • Theme 2
    Immune Regulation
    Our mission is to understand the molecules and regulatory circuits active in immune cells. Using preclinical models and experimental immunotherapy in patients, we strive improve treatment of cancer and immune-related disorders.

  • Theme 3
    Regenerative Medicine & Microenvironment
    Our mission is to improve the quality of life of patients by understanding cell-matrix interactions (microenvironment), and to apply the obtained knowledge for the regeneration of tissues/organs.

  • Theme 4
    Energy & Redox Metabolism
    Our mission is to understand biomolecular pathways of NADH and ATP conversion in human health and disease. We study the biological systems relevant for mitochondrial medicine and apply newly acquired knowledge for diagnosis and treatment.

  • Theme 5
    Membrane Transport & Cell Dynamics
    Our mission is to understand the mechanisms of transport of water, solutes, drugs and metabolites and to apply newly acquired knowledge for diagnosis and therapies of kidney diseases and beyond.

  • Theme 6
    Genetic & Epigenetic Pathways of Disease
    Our mission is to unravel the molecular basis of cell behaviour that emanates from the genetic and epigenetic code contained in the nucleus in the context of normal and pathological conditions of development.
