Macrophage cell dying in response to TNFR2
using Nanolive Imaging microscope
The Wong lab is a research lab in Zurich, Switzerland. We focus on understanding the patterns and underlying mechanisms behind cell death signaling and disease.
Our laboratory is interested in identifying how cell death signaling pathways can influence inflammation with the hope of identifying novel targets to turn on or off the immune system.
Determine how cell death signaling is involved in neo-vascularization and the potential role in vascular disease
Delineate how the TNF signaling pathways activate the inflammasome and how monogenic autoinflammatory diseases may influence cytokine storms
