Two scientists from the CRC 1160 are currently among the most cited researchers worldwide in the “Clinical Medicine” category: Prof Dr Marco Prinz (C03), Institute of Neuropathology and Prof Dr Dr Bertram Bengsch (A03, Z01), Department of Internal Medicine II.

The 7th Annual Meeting of the Upper Rhine Immunology (URI) Group will be held in the Maurice Mueller Lecture Hall at the University of Basel’s Biozentrum on Friday 25th October 2024.

Find out about health issues and get moving with lectures, workshops and activities on the health of body and mind at the University Health Day.

Annual CRC 1160 retreat in St. Peter.

Join the next DGFI Young Immunologist online seminar and discuss science and academic development with Marta Rizzi (B02) who talks about B cells in automimmunity: Where do we stand?

Pursuing a successful career in the life sciences and starting a family should not be mutually exclusive, but figures and experience show that for many early career researchers the choice is one of either/or.

Panelists: Sonja Albers, Susana Minguet (B01), Thomas Ott, Katrin Schüle

Prof. Dr. Robert Zeiser (B09) receives the 2024 DKMS Mechthild Harf Science Award from the DKMS Stiftung Leben Spenden (Foundation for Giving Life) as honour for his outstanading research work in the field of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. With the DKMS Mechtild Harf Science Award, the foundation honours the lifetime achievements of internationally renowned physicians and scientists in the field of stem cell transplantation and cellular therapies.

The two cross-border projects will strengthen cooperation between Strasbourg and Freiburg.

CRC 1160 member Susana Minguet (B01) investigates the effect of a novel mutation in Lck on TCR signaling, T-cell function, and differentiation in patients with combined immunodeficiency (CID).

When autoimmune diseases occur in childhood and are accompanied by swollen lymph glands or an enlarged spleen, this indicates a congenital disorder of the immune system. The exact diagnosis is difficult, but crucial for therapy. A study by  Stephan Ehl (A01) at the the Centre for Chronic Immunodeficiency, Medical Center – University of Freiburg has now provided new insights into autoimmune lymphoproliferative diseases in children.

The findings of the CRC 1160 member, Susana Minguet (B01), address an important question and provide some clear directions for the use of the λ-chain locus.

A new study, led by CRC 1160 member Marta Rizzi (B02), relates classic disease markers – such as dysfunctional B cell differentiation – to a pathway triggered by non-apoptotoc signaling from the FAS protein

Gamma-delta T cells represent a distinctive subset within the T cell family, and their implications in cancer have been under rigorous investigation. A recent study, led by CRC 1160 member Sagar (B08 and Z02), involved researchers from the Medical Center – University of Freiburg, including Maike Hofmann (CRC 1160, A02) and Robert Thimme (CRC 1160, A02), and Institut Curie Paris, shedding light on the diversity and tissue residency of gamma-delta T cells across various organs in mice.
