The IMMCEPTION (Gaudenzio) Lab specializes in the study of how immune cells and peripheral neurons interact to regulate inflammatory conditions. Combining in vivo models, tissue imaging and transcriptomics, they significantly contributed to identify new therapeutic targets involved in allergic disorders.

The research in our unit is centered around the role of dendritic cells and macrophages in various lung diseases such as asthma, respiratory viral infections and lung cancer. We focus on the traditional immunological functions of DCs and macrophages as antigen-presenting cells (APCs), but we are also known for our research on how epithelial cells and innate immune cells communicate with APCs to activate or suppress them, and in this way cause or perpetuate disease. Our ultimate goal is to find novel ways to prevent and treat lung disease.
