Welcome
Welcome to the Department of Molecular Immunology and Microbiology of the University of Groningen. Shared goal of the Department of Molecular Immunology and Microbiology is to gain a molecular understanding of the interactions between gut microbes and the human immune system in order to develop improved therapies for diseases of the digestive tract, such as inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer. Our department hosts the Membrane Trafficking in Immune Cells Lab of Geert van den Bogaart and the Host Microbe Interactions Lab of Sahar El Aidy.
Our laboratory is located at the University of Groningen, Groningen Biomolecular Sciences and Biotechnology Institute (GBB), located in Groningen the Netherlands. The Membrane Trafficking in Immune Cells Lab is split, with part of our team working at our satellite lab at the Department of Tumor Immunology located at the Radboud Institute for Molecular Life Sciences (RIMLS). The RIMLS is the research institute for molecular life sciences of the Radboud University Medical Center (Radboud UMC) and the Radboud University, located in Nijmegen in the Netherlands.
