IRTGROUP

Twenty-one years have passed since the formation of the Laboratory of Autoimmune and Inflammatory Diseases, currently known as Immune Regulation and Tolerance Research Group (IRTGroup). The IRTGroup is a platform that carries out associative research with the aim to understand the immunological basis responsible for the loss of tolerance in autoimmune diseases. We are intended to develop strategies for tolerance induction with therapeutic potential in autoimmunity, emphasizing the study on tolerogenic dendritic cells, regulatory T and B cells, and cytokine-blocking antibodies... The IRTGroup is made up of five principal investigators and their research groups, hosted by the Immunology Disciplinary Program of the Biomedical Sciences Institute (ICBM), located at the Faculty of Medicine, Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile... The IRT group is composed by a multi-disciplinary team, including Principal Investigators, students at different stages of training, and collaboration personnel.
