Background

Introduction

Catharien Hilkens obtained her PhD in Immunology at the University of Amsterdam. She then won an EMBO long-term fellowship award to work at the Cancer Research UK London Research Institute, before joining Â鶹´«Ã½ to start her own research group. During her PhD and post-doctoral work she became intrigued by the central role that dendritic cells play in orchestrating immune responses, and she became interested in exploring their therapeutic potential. At Â鶹´«Ã½, with invaluable support from a strong translational environment, she developed a therapeutic tolerogenic dendritic cell product that was tested in one of the first clinical trials of its kind in rheumatoid and inflammatory arthritis patients. More recently, she has become interested in engineering therapeutics that can modulate immune function of dendritic cells in vivo. To this aim she has teamed up with colleagues at the School of Engineering to start the 'Biomaterials for Tolerance' (BioTol) initiative. BioTol aims to exploit recent advances in polymeric biomaterial engineering for the development of innovative therapies for immune-mediated inflammatory diseases.


Catharien is one of the founders of the European network Action to Focus and Accelerate Cell-based Tolerance-inducing Therapies (AFACTT – 2014-2019). She is a management committee member of the Arthritis Research UK Rheumatoid Arthritis Pathogenesis Centre of Excellence (RACE; 2013 – present).



Research

Research Interests

Catharien is a translational immunologist with research expertise in immune regulation by human dendritic cells, and with a strong interest in understanding regulation of immune processes within human tissues. Her aims are:


i) To develop novel immunotherapeutic approaches for rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases caused by a dysregulated immune system

ii) To understand the mechanisms underlying immune regulation by dendritic cells in order to support new areas of translational research


Her work is funded by Versus Arthritis, Medical Research Council, BBSRC, European Commission and the JGWP Foundation.
