Résumé:
Our immune system protects us by identifying and eliminating abnormal cells in the body. However, if this system stops working properly, it can lead to the development of cancer. In our research, we are focusing on autoantibodies as a way to understand how the immune system works.
These autoantibodies are indicators (biomarkers) for the level of activation of the immune system. We are developing a system (MUSCAT-assay) that can measure these autoantibodies using a small amount of blood to help diagnose cancer and predict treatment response.
