Currently, the Department of Immunology employs a group of over sixty scientists, technicians and students. Due to the fact that such a large team conducts a wide range of research, the team has been divided into several smaller groups focusing on the development of individual research areas:

 Prof.  Golab Team

  • Immunology and immunotherapy of cancer
  • The role of amino acids metabolism in the development of antitumor immune response
  • Photodynamic therapy of cancer
  • Personalized anti-cancer vaccines

 Prof. Lasek Team

  • Regulatory T cells
  • Stem cells
  • Tumor immunotherapy
  • Allergen immunotherapy in the treatment of allergic diseases

 dr hab. Winiarska Team

  • Monoclonal antibodies
  • Adoptive therapies
  • CAR therapy
  • Tumor microenvironment
  • Tumor metabolism

 dr Firczuk Team

  • Targeting tumor-specific metabolic differences
  • Investigating the mechanism of immune evasion in murine models of leukemia

 dr Pyrzynska Team

  • Development of therapeutic alternatives in combination with monoclonal antibodies for cancer therapy
  • Characterization of tumoral, metabolic and immune cross talks, controlling malignant growth and affecting cancer therapies
  • Molecular mechanisms regulating endocytic and exocytic pathways in cells

 dr Rygiel Team

  • Regulation of the activity of myeloid cells by immunological inhibitory receptors (e.g., CD200R) and TLRs.
  • Regulation of the inflammatory process by CD200R
  • Use of macrophages as a cellular carrier of therapeutic compounds
