The Research Unit Type 1 Diabetes Immunology aims to dissect mechanisms of aberrant immune activation that can interfere with tolerance induction during islet autoimmunity and that promote progression from islet autoimmunity to clinical Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).

We therefore use an integrative translational research approach combining cellular and molecular immunology with immunepharmacology.

To this end, we integrate murine T1D models with studies in humanized mice and focus on immune cells from non-diabetic children with ongoing islet autoimmunity or with new onset T1D which offer an important resource for studying such signaling pathways involved in aberrant immune activation vs.

immune tolerance.
