Research Groups
The SFB IMMUNOMETABOLISM unites seven established laboratories in Austria with expertise spanning mouse genetics, energy and lipid metabolism, immunology, biophysics, epigenetics, microbiome expertise, cell biology, human and mouse organoid cultures, and molecular pathology to maximize the potential for investigation of the immunological role of metabolism in macrophages in human health and disease.
