Chiara Romagnani

Chiara Romagnani is an Italian immunologist specialising in innate immunity. Her particular interest is in innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and their dual role in wound healing and inflammation processes. Her working group succeeded in identifying signals that control the pro- and anti-inflammatory functions in ILCs. Another focus of her research is on natural killer cells (NK cells), lymphocytes, that contribute to the innate immune response.
