The scientific focus of our group lies in the field of Vascular Inflammation at the crossroads of Immunology, Inflammation, Vascular Medicine and Metabolism. Our major focus is to identify the role of mechanisms pertinent to immunology and vascular inflammation, especially leukocyte-endothelial interactions, in the regulation of metabolic pathologies, such as the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus, the vascular complications of diabetes mellitus, especially diabetic retinopathy, as well as in inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.
