Since 2009, Dr. Chudakov's team has worked on research and development in the field of adaptive immunity, primarily deep quantitative analysis of T-cell receptor (TCR) and antibody (IG) repertoires with high throughput sequencing. They developed molecular techniques and software algorithms for the normalized error-free TCR and IG repertoire profiling with the use of unique molecular identifiers (UMI), and performed several biomedical studies in autoimmunity, aging, cancer immunology, blood cells transplantation, as well as fundamental studies of the structure of immune repertoires. They are happy to collaborate with several top-teams in the world, helping to disentangle various sophisticated puzzles of adaptive immunity.
