Rubicon 2022 – Jelle Folkerts – Identification of genes regulating mast cell activation in allergy and asthma
Project summary
Chemical factors released upon activation of tissue mast cells cause the signs and symptoms of allergies, asthma and anaphylaxis. In this project, the researchers will attempt to identify genes influencing human mast cell activation
Impact
This “first-of-its-kind” dataset will help in the development of innovative therapeutic interventions for mast cell-mediated diseases.
