Back from a focused and energizing CRC/SFB-TRR 156 retreat at Kloster Schöntal. Our consortium studies the skin as a sensor and effector organ that shapes local and systemic immune responses. #DFG #TRR156 #researchingermany #scientificexcellence
Fantastic #TRR355 - Integrated Research Training Group (IRTG) retreat and TRR355 international symposium on regulatory T cells, featuring a fantastic lineup of speakers in Waldenburg, Germany! #DFG #researchingermany #scientificexcellence
Today we celebrated the 85th birthday of my mentor, Prof. Hermann Wagner, on a wonderful day at the Ammersee. Many of his former mentees now hold (or held) chairs in medical microbiology or immunology, carrying forward his standards, curiosity, and academic rigor. Happy Birthday Hermann!
Warmest congratulations to Prof. Shimon Sakaguchi on receiving an honorary doctorate from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. A deeply deserved recognition for a scientist whose discovery of regulatory T cells reshaped modern immunology. Proud that my proposal has now come to fruition.
Congratulations to José Carlos Alves Filho on being elected today as a Gutenberg Research College Fellow. This is a fantastic recognition of his scientific excellence and international standing. It was a pleasure to celebrate this moment at JGU.
Fantastic team, wonderful science, and an unforgettable asado afternoon. It was a real pleasure to spend time with GFK Fellow José Carlos Alves Filho and Nobel Laureate Shimon Sakaguchi and his wife Noriko.
At DGIM in Wiesbaden, I had the pleasure of attending an evening in honor of Prof. Dr. Stefan Endres and 60 yrs of the Paul-Martini-Stiftung. #DGIM #Wiesbaden #PaulMartiniStiftung #ClinicalResearch
A wonderful concert evening with violinist Naoya Nishimura, First Concertmaster of the Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Mainz, and pianist Wataru Hisasue, Second Prize winner of the Concours Reine Elisabeth 2025, and a great success for #EndPolioNow and #Rotary.
