Indirect effects of immunomodulatory drugs
Immunomodulatory drugs for rheumatic diseases specifically influence immune cells and messenger substances. This project investigates their effect on immune responses in order to find individually suitable therapies.

Cell-selective targeting of immune cells
Immunomodulatory drugs can have systemic side effects. This project is testing nanocarriers that deliver drugs specifically into myeloid immune cells in order to reduce side effects and increase the local effect.
