Cell Migration and Cell-Cell Communication
in the Immune System
Welcome to the Mempel Lab. We study how T cells traffic through
our bodies and how they interact with other immune cells and their
local tissue environment to receive the diverse signals that
regulate their survival, proliferation, and activation of appropriate
effector functions. Our primary interest is in CD8+ cytotoxic and in
CD4+ regulatory T cells and their interactions with dendritic cells,
both while the immune system is ‘at rest’ and when it responds to
microbial invasion or cancer. Whenever there is an opportunity,
we also aim to translate new biological insights into novel
therapeutic concepts, especially for the treatment of cancer.
