What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Immune system
  • Internal medicine
  • Cytokine

Jan Andersson mainly investigates Immunology, Internal medicine, Cytotoxic T cell, Virology and Cytokine. Antigen, CD8, Immune system, Chemokine and Lymphocyte are among the areas of Immunology where the researcher is concentrating his efforts.
