In the Laboratory of Immunology and Epigenetics, we are investigating how epigenetic changes due to chronic infections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and HIV (respectively the causative agents of tuberculosis and AIDS), modulate the programming of inate immune system cells. Thus, our laboratory is focused on the identification of immune and epigenetic biomarkers in different clinical presentations of tuberculosis and HIV infection, through the functional and phenotypic characterization of Natural Killer cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and neutrophils.
