Department of Experimental Immunotherapy

We are conducting intensive research to:

  • develop selective parasite-derived biological agents to propose the treatment of allergic, autoimmune, neurodegenerative and oncological diseases. Our research uses a “learning from parasites” approach using in vitro, ex vivo systems and in vivo animal models
  • identify infectious agents and immune response mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases
  • identify and verify clinically valuable biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases to qualify patients and predict their response to therapy
  • evaluate the antiparasitic properties of compounds and substances of natural origin against various developmental forms of intestinal nematodes
