Molecular Immunology

Salmonella – rod like bacteria – are well known highly virulent pathogens. When encountering our immune system they elicit a whole array of reactions some of which feed also back onto the bacteria. Interactions like that between our immune system and Salmonella might pave the way to a completely novel perspective in the fight against cancer.
