Research & Clinical Interests
The Mantegazza lab is interested in investigating mechanisms of regulation of inflammatory responses in Dendritic cells (DCs) – the main antigen-presenting cells and instructors of T cell responses –, by studying the crosstalk between phagosomes, inflammasomes and autophagy. Our current research projects aim at identifying new regulators of phagosome maturation, inflammasome activity and autophagy with the ultimate goal of tuning immune responses in DCs, to ensure proper inflammatory responses to pathogens and prevent chronic inflammation that may lead to disease (i.e. inflammatory bowel disease).
