Department of Nephrology 'A significant impact on renal health care' aims to investigate and treat kidney diseases and kidney-replacement therapy (dialysis and transplantation), by combining patient care, scientific research and education. Kidney transplantation and immunological research are key areas.
Laboratory of Medical ImmunologyThe Laboratory of Medical Immunology (LMI) is embedded within the Department Laboratory. Within LMI, diagnostics, scientific research and education are combined. The main research topic is to improve diagnostics and develop new biomarkers for patients with immune related diseases and to improve the efficacy of immunotherapy and vaccination. Our research uses
state of the art immune profiling techniques such as single-cell RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analyses and machine-learning methods to map variation in the human immune system and to improve vaccination efficacy. This involves close collaboration with clinical and immunological partners.
