Dr. Andreas Bergthaler`s group at CeMM is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and other grant agencies and is interested in the crosstalk between metabolism and inflammation during infection. Well-defined mouse models are interrogated with molecular techniques of immunology, virology and systems biology to gain insights into inflammation, metabolic reprogramming and pathology. The main scientific aim is to unravel fundamental mechanisms of systemic immunometabolism of relevance to inflammatory diseases.
