The Mouse Genetics in Inflammation Unit has a long standing interest in acute inflammation, such as we experience during SIRS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) and sepsis. The unit is interested in the question what forms the basis of the lack of therapeutic response of Glucocorticoids (GCs) and the malfunction of the GC receptor GR during SIRS and sepsis, and how the new insights can be applied to come up with a workable GC therapy. The project is involving structural biology, metabolomics as well as transcriptional control and chromatin regulation.
