The group of Dr. Beyer is highly interested in unraveling the molecular events in innate and adaptive immune cells resulting in their activation and functional reprogramming contributing to the development of neurodegenerative disorders. One main research focus is the characterization of regulatory T cells, T cell differentiation and T cell exhaustion. Seminal work of the group could show the importance Satb1 for the function of T cells and its influence on the development of autoimmunity. Following up on these observations, the group is currently assessing the importance of T cells for CNS pathology., An additional research focus is the understanding of myeloid cell activation and differentiation using TALEN and CRISPR/Cas9 technology to perform gain- and loss-of-function experiments.
