• Chemokine signaling mechanisms underlying inflammation and infection control: insights from the zebrafish model Research output

  This thesis focuses on the role of chemokine receptors CXCR3 and CCR2 in the inflammatory process and infection control using the zebrafish model.

• Regulation of autophagy-related mechanisms during bacterial infection Research output

  Autophagy is a fundamental degradative process, maintaining cellular homeostasis and functions in host defense against intracellular pathogens, including mycobacteria and Salmonella.

• Turning the tables on tuberculosis: boosting our own immune forces News - 2 February 2026

  Tuberculosis bacteria survive by hiding in our immune cells. In her PhD research, biologist Salomé Muñoz Sánchez explores how boosting the body’s own defenses might outsmart this deadly pathogen. Her work reveals two key proteins that help immune cells destroy the bacteria.
