1. Feedback Enhancement of Immune Responses by IgE, IgM, and IgG3 Antibodies
Abstract : Antibodies can enhance or suppress the immune responses against their specific antigens. This phenomenon is known as antibody-mediated feedback regulation. We have studied the mechanisms underlying IgE-, IgM-, and IgG3-mediated enhancement of immune responses in mouse models using intravenous immunization. READ MORE

2. Mucosal immunity against mycobacterial infection
Abstract : This thesis aimed to the identification of immune biomarkers of mycobacterial infection for better diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) and also focused on new vaccination strategies with a particular emphasis on the immune responses in the respiratory tract using murine models. Since the lung is the natural habitat for the M. READ MORE

3. Immune and gene therapies for cancer and infectious diseases
Abstract : Annually more than 20 million deaths are globally caused because of infections or cancer. This accounts for 41.5% of annual deaths. New techniques are supposed to constitute our tools in the fight against these types of deaths. READ MORE

4. The impact of the cytoskeleton dynamics on immune responses
Abstract : Immune cells are susceptible to a variety of external stimuli that triggers cell surface receptors, leading to activation of intracellular proteins and changes in the actin cytoskeleton. The Rho-GTPases are a family of proteins that regulate several aspects of actin polymerization. READ MORE

5. Isolation of Circulating Tumor Cells with Acoustophoresis : Towards a biomarker assay for prostate cancer
Abstract : Microfluidics has emerged as an essential approach in the development of novel technological platforms to detect and isolate rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood of cancer patients. Micro-scaled fluidic systems offer means to precisely control fluid flow. READ MORE
