Summary
The organism’s first line of defence against viruses is the innate immune system. In mammals, viral infections trigger a very potent antiviral response, known as the type-I Interferon response. Our group is interested in understanding how cells control the activation of this antiviral defence mechanism and how this is regulated during development.
