Welcome to the UKE.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an enigmatic liver disease characterized by a chronic inflammation leading to scarring and obliteration of intra- and extrahepatic bile ducts. There is no licenced pharmacological treatment with a proven benefit on the disease course, leading PSC as major cause for liver transplantation in the western world. The disease pathogenesis is largely unknown but it is widely believed that PSC is an immune mediated disease. The mechanisms causing misguided immune cell differentiation are poorly understood but several genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have associated PSC to polymorphisms related to immune cell- and particularly T cell-function. Within this project, we aim to decipher the impact of genetic risk factors on immune cells differentiation and function. We will investigate immune cell activation, regulation and interaction with a focus on disease- associated polymorphisms. Existing and newly generated data from people with PSC will be examined to reveal signaling pathways and cellular interactions. State of the art techniques such as spectral flow cytometry, single cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics as well as human organoid cultures will enable the identification of new therapeutic targets.
