The group gathers researchers from IMIM and Univ. Pompeu Fabra (UPF) being coordinated by Prof. Miguel López-Botet (ML-B ORCID; ML-B CV sketch), who holds a double appointment with both institutions (Funding IMIM/UPF). Laboratories are located at the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) premises.

The team has a broad and recognized experience in the study of human Natural Killer (NK) cell biology, involved in the immune response to certain microbial pathogens and tumors. Characterization of CD94/NKG2 and ILT2 (LIR-1, CD85j o LILRB1) receptors are among our most relevant past contributions (ML-B CV sketch).
