Ophthalmo-Immunology group - Group de Boer-Kuiper
About uitklapper, klik om te openen
Our mission is to improve the understanding of the mechanisms that lead to human ocular inflammatory disease by investigation of the immune system, locally and systemically. We combine clinical phenotyping and systems immunology to develop tools that allow patient stratification to improve clinical care for patients with inflammatory eye disease.
