Cell Biology and Immunology Group
The vision of the Cell Biology and Immunology Group (CBI) is to generate fundamental knowledge on the immune system of vertebrates. We apply this knowledge to the development of dietary-based immunomodulation, immunotherapies and vaccination strategies in order to improve health of animals and humans.

In all teaching organised by CBI, mucosal and comparative immunology approaches play a large role. This illustrates the importance of differences in the immune system among animal species and humans during health and disease.
