Our research activities are focused on epidemiology, pathophysiology and treatment of allergic diseases, namely atopic dermatitis. We also investigate new therapeutic options in a variety of diseases, mainly atopic dermatitis, mastocytosis and drug allergy. Recently we have also started to implement, evaluate and improve educational tools to promote knowledge and training in allergic diseases.

Our group is interested in exploring the cutaneous immune system under homeostatic conditions and in the setting of inflammatory and allergic skin diseases, and in exploring the impact of environmental factors such as microbes and nutrition in this context. We thereby aim at ultimately improving prevention and treatment approaches. The main diseases we are looking at are severe drug hypersensitivity reactions and atopic dermatitis. We also explore the immunological functions of the poorly investigated subcutaneous adipose tissue and how these interfere with cutaneous inflammation.
