Dimitra Lamprinaki

Biography

Dimitra Lamprinaki current project is focusing in microbe glycan interaction with proteins expressed in innate immune cells. She will sort and identify microbiota positive to selected proteins, and furthermore she will investigate the immune response, for further understanding immunity and how is regulated by microbiota in a healthy and disease state. Before that, as a research assistant, she was working with commensal yeast and the effect of the autophagy in the cell activation. His interest in gut glyco-immunology started from my master’s internship at the Quadram Institute Bioscience, where she studied the transportation of a polysaccharide through intestinal epithelial cells.
