In our recent research paper we have used extensive methods to reveal new details on how bacteria are causing inflammation. Based on this research we aim to find new treatment strategies for preventing serious inflammatory reactions toward E. coli bacteria.
Our immune system is powerful in fighting infection, but can also specifically kill malignant body cells such as cancer cells. When we get vaccinated, the immune system gets trained and prepared for these fights. But it is believed that vaccines might also have the potential to educate our immune system to fight cancer cells.

At the Center for Molecular Inflammation Research (CEMIR) we have discovered a new mechanism for how our immune cells recognize streptococcal bacteria that can cause serious infections in both newborns and adults.
