Welcome to the Erpenbeck Lab

The Erpenbeck lab is interested in the role of the innate immune system - particularly neutrophilic granulocytes - in the pathogenesis of a variety of chronic and inflammatory diseases. We are located within the department of Dermatology, Allergology and Venereology of the University Hospital Münster (UKM) and have a focus on chronic dermatological diseases such as psoriasis, urticaria or systemic lupus erythematosus. 

We also have a strong focus on biophysical aspects of immune cells, particularly neutrophilic granulocytes, and are interested in understanding how these cells communicate with one another to orchestrate complex cellular behaviour.
