Research Program
The core research idea of the RTG 3095 "Protective and pathogenic antibody responses at barrier organs" emerged from the research environment at the Universities of Lübeck and Kiel University, where research on inflammation at barrier organs is an important research topic, which was devel-oped within the joint Cluster of Excellence "Inflammation at Interfaces" and continued within "PMI – Precision Medicine in Chronic Inflammation".
In addition to drive inflammatory and allergic diseases, depending on their individual properties and circumstances, antibodies can also inhibit disease pathogenesis. Accordingly, recent immunological and clinical research has revealed the great importance of B cells and antibodies in numerous disor-ders.
