Our Vision

We seek to understand the mechanism and pathophysiology of different autoimmune encephalitides, especially focusing on the cellular aspect of the immune system. Using different methods including innovative technology we will try to discover whether the host immunological milieu influences disease severity, phenotype and prognosis. We also focus on paraneoplastic autoimmune syndromes and hope that by understanding the mechanism and pathophysiology of these diseases we can develop new treatments. The advances in immune checkpoint inhibition as treatment to cancer have been shown in some cases to provoke autoimmune response. We are trying to understand which patients have high chances of developing such responses.
