B lymphocytes are key cells in mounting the adaptive immune response by differentiating into antibody secreting plasma cells. My research focus the molecular mechanisms of B lymphocyte activation, with emphasis on vesicle traffic, antigen processing and antibody production. In our research, we take advantage of both in vivo models and various advanced imaging techniques, including super-resolution microscopy, as well as modern proteomic approaches.
