Research | We conduct research focused on the regulation of immune cell activation in the context of inflammatory diseases and cancer development. Understanding the mechanisms that control the immune response will allow them to be modulated for therapeutic purposes. The main areas of our interest are:

Principal investigator | Dr Tomasz Rygiel, at 2002 finished Molecular Biology studies at University of Warsaw (Poland). Awarded with Scholarship of Socrates-Erasmus programme started in 2002 his Phd course at University of Amsterdam (The Netherlands). Five years lated defended his Phd thesis entitled "The role of Tiam1 in tumor cell biology" at Department of Cell Biology, Netherlands Cancer Institute/University of Amsterdam. Since 2007 started Post-doc at Department of Immunology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht (The Netherlands), where he focused on CD200R-mediated immune regulation in viral infections and anticancer response. Currently holds a position of Assistant professor, group leader at , Department of Immunology, Medical University of Warsaw (Poland) where develops research at Role of CD200R-signaling in inflammation and cancer development.
