Sylwia Chelstowska, Ph.D.

Scientist, CRO

Personal Statement The immune system plays a major role in several illnesses such as infectious diseases, auto-immune diseases, and cancer. Therefore, immune monitoring is important for the development of vaccines and immune-oncological therapies. Immunological techniques like ELISPOT, ELISA or flow cytometry are great tools for monitoring the immune response to vaccines or therapies. I have found at CTL a perfect place to improve my knowledge and technical experience in immunology.
