I am exploring the role of immune cells in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis, gluten sensitivity and other autoimmune disease.

I am interested in regulatory T cells in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and how the autophagy process could modulate the immune response and interfere with the regulatory function of the immune system.
