His research interests are centered on alterations to immunity in ageing, age-associated diseases and cancer in man and the influence these have on the outcome of vaccination. He is currently focusing on mechanisms of human immunosenescence and the impact of polypathogenicity (including multiple infections, cancer, Alzheimer´s, autoimmunity) as well as stress (psychological, nutritional) on immune signatures reflecting individual immune status in the clinical context. He is a Visiting Professor, Nottingham Trent University, UK, and Honorary Professor at Manchester University, UK. He is Co-Editor-in Chief of Cancer Immunology Immunotherapy.
