Biography
My research is focused on the characterization of cytokine activities using a multidisciplinary approach extending from molecular characterization of signal transduction and gene regulation pathways to in vivo studies of inflammatory and immune responses in transgenic and gene-targeted mice. We have a particular interest in the biology of Interleukin-9 (IL-9) and IL-22, two cytokines discovered in our lab. In addition to my Ludwig research activities, I am a Professor at the University of Louvain Medical School, where I am teaching Immunology and Cell Biology. I am serving on different national and international scientific committees and Editorial boards and I am a member of the Belgian Royal Academy of Medicine.
