A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

About

The Innate Immunity Unit comprises 18 members (4 permanent scientists, 4 engineers/technicians, 5 postdoctoral fellows, 5 PhD students) with complementary interests and expertise in immunology, developmental biology, virology and animal models. Together with the Lymphocytes and Immunity Unit (Ana Cumano), Dynamics of Immune Response Unit (Philippe Bousso) and Genome Integrity, Immunity and Cancer Unit (Ludovic Deriano), we form the Inserm Unit 1223 (Pathophysiology of the Immune System) that pursues collaborative projects involving lymphocyte development, differentiation and functional dynamics in mouse and man.
