NAME OF TEACHER:
IMPORTANCE, AIMS AND POSSIBLE OUTCOME OF RESEARCH
In our research, by bioinformatical methods, we try to identify possible correlations
between the immune system, the personal commensal folra and different
autoimmune, dermatological and cancerous diseases. We use methods of
machine learning in the interest of exploring the different HLA-genotypes, using
large, clinically relevant databases. In order to find the role of the alleles we also
involve allele frequency databases. We think that we can find clinically relevant
correlations in the promiscuity of different HLA-DRB alleles, and immunmediated
diseases, e.g. allergy, asthma, acne. If we understand the personal immune
mechanisms in case of melanoma patients it will lead us steps forward in the
threatment of this disease.
AIMS DURING HIS CAREER
I think that the development of medical sciences is strictly bound to the development
of technology in general. During my career, I would like to be up to date
with the most recent bioinformatical methods and I would like to see the use of
them in the field of clinical researches. I would like to take part and contribute to
the development of modern, personalized medicine.
