Description

In this research environment we study host-pathogen interactions from ecological, evolutionary and functional perspectives. We are interested in the evolution of the vertebrate immune system, and in understanding how host-pathogen interactions affect the inflammatory response and disease outcome, including delayed (‘hidden’) effects reducing lifetime reproduction and lifespan. We also focus on questions relating to the evolution of pathogen diversity, and host specificity. Our study systems include humans, laboratory mice, and long-term studies of wild rodents and birds, and we perform epidemiological and functional analyses of natural infections as well as in experimental in vivo and ex vivo infection models. Below you will find links to the participating research groups – with more detailed descriptions of our research – as well as to our teaching activities.
