Simona Infantino PhD Thesis
on June 17, 2006 Simona Infantino and Marcus Thelen The orphan receptor RDC1 may function as a chemokine receptor. We have characterized its expression pattern in leukocytes, in particular on B cells. So far, we have tested most of the known human chemokines as potential ligands, but could not identify a specific agonist. Receptor internalization […]
Elena Palmesino PhD Thesis
on June 17, 2006 CXCR4 associated proteins and their role in cell specific receptor function Elena Palmesino and Marcus Thelen Understanding chemokine receptor-mediated signaling in different cellular environments is the main focus of the project. Ample evidence from our laboratory and by others indicate that coupling of a given G-protein coupled receptor to downstream signaling […]
PhDs awarded to IRB students Simona Infantino and Elena Palmsino
on June 17, 2006 PhDs awarded to IRB students Simona Infantino and Elena Palmsino. Bringing the total of PhDs awarded for studies at the IRB to 15, the work of Simona and Elena was supervised by Marcus Thelen. The PhD program continues to attract a great deal of interest and is a vital part of […]

IRB Avian flu research fast-tracked by the Wellcome Trust
on June 15, 2006 Research fast-tracked for support by the Wellcome Trust is working with adults who have recovered from infection by the potentially lethal H5N1 strain of avian flu to develop antibodies that it is hoped could be used in the fight against H5N1 infection. An international collaboration of scientists is working to harness […]
