Biography
Researchers Anouk Platteel and Alice Sijts and their colleagues successfully tested their method in a model for food poisoning, caused by bacteria. The method enables researchers to unravel the role of ‘cut and paste protein fragments’ in protection from infections, cancer and also in autoimmune diseases (when the immune system attacks the body).
