SIAF‘s projects in Life Sciences Zurich Graduate School focus on:
"Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms of Immune Regulation Allergic Disease".
"Molecular and cellular mechanisms of remodelling and airway injury in asthma: Interaction of tissue cells with the immune system cells"
"Investigation of cellular and molecular mechanisms and the biochemical signals in the immune system, which regulate the normal and the allergic immune responses in humans"
"The mechanisms of generation and activation of effector T cells subsets and T regulatory cells and the biochemical signals that govern these processes"
"Development of allergen-specific immunotherapy vaccines"
"The investigation of the chemical structure and biochemical properties of allergens"
For projects and publications of the last year check out our annual report, listed under "News and Reports"
Students will obtain their Ph.D. from either the University of Zurich or ETH Zurich and receive a graded certificate from the program.
