Summary

 

Summary

Ghita's research programme is interdisciplinary at the interface between cell biology, immunology and artificial intelligence, aimed to:

- Decipher the molecular and cellular mechanisms that bridge between the adaptive and innate immunity during tumour inflammation and autoimmunity.

- Tailor drug design to improve the outcome of defective immune responses.
