Vasileios Bekiaris

Vasileios Bekiaris is an Associate Professor and Groupleader at the Department of Health Technology, Technical University of Denmark, specializing in Experimental & Translational Immunology with a focus on T-Cell Signaling and Development. His research explores the roles of γδ T cells, cytokines, and immune regulation in health and disease.

Research Interests:

• γδ T cell biology and immunotherapy
• Cytokine signaling (IL-17, IL-27, interferons)
• Immune checkpoint inhibitors in cancer and infection
• Aging-related immune barrier function
• Apoptosis regulation via cIAP ligases
• Translational immunology applications

Supervision: Bekiaris mentors multiple PhD candidates in projects involving iPSC-T cell engineering, neonatal immunity, and small molecule immunotherapeutics. Key collaborations include researchers at DTU and international institutions.
