Biography

​We are dissecting the cytokine network and determine which cells are producing or responding to a particular cytokine. One of our favourite molecule we are analysing is Interleukin-10. By inactivating the expression of Interleukin-10 in various cell types, we can determine the importance of a particular cell type in a given immunological response. By this approach, we could identify that T lymphocytes are the critical cells producing Interleukin-10 and thereby control the Immune system of the gut. Also, we now identified two crucial target cells in the gut for Interleukin-10, T cells and macrophages. For the latter, Steffen Jung and I received the first Lord Alliance price in 2015.​ Since August 2018 Werner Muller is now Emeritus Professor at the University of Manchester and continues his scientific career at Miltenyi Biotec in research and development,
