Research Activities
The research activity of the Molecular Immuno-Infectivology Group is focused on the development of molecular tests in the field of autoimmunity and immunity. The research activity is combined with the clinical-assistance activity and, in particular, interferon-inducible genes (interferon signature) are studied in pediatric onset diseases such as thrombocytopenia, neutropenias, primary immune-deficiencies and recurrent infections. Human endogenous retroviruses (HERV) and their implication in different physiological and pathological conditions are also studied. The expression of retroviral genes is evaluated: during HCV, SARS-CoV-2, RSV, influenza and herpes viruses infections; during autoimmune diseases (plateletopenias, SLE, etc...); in food and non-food allergies.
