My group is studying the mechanisms how activation of innate immune sensors in chronic diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) and myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) induces sterile inflammation and drives disease development. In previous work we could demonstrate that in SLE dendritic cells are critical for augmenting but not initiating disease, defined the specific contributions of B cell- and dendritic cell-intrinsic TLR-MyD88 signaling to self-reactive B and T cell stimulation in SLE, and revealed how intercellular cGAMP transmission contributes to tissue inflammation in Trex1-associated autoimmunity.
