Lucie Abeler-dorner BSc, MSc, PhD

Lucie joined Prof. Adrian Hayday’s lab in October 2008 as a BRC fellow after completing her PhD at the German Cancer Research Centre in Heidelberg. Her projects focus on the interaction of immune cells and non-immune cells in the gut during steady state and under challenge. Currently she is investigating when and by which means intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) communicate with intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) to ensure tissue homeostasis, enable immunosurveillance and initiate immune responses.
