Dr. Maike Hofmann wurde mit dem Georges-Köhler-Preis 2022 der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Immunologie (DGfI) für ihre Forschungsarbeiten zur virusspezifischen Immunantwort von CD8+ T-Zellen ausgezeichnet . Diese haben grundlegend zu einem besseren Verständnis der Immunbiologie bei viraler Hepatitis sowie bei SARS-CoV-2-Infektionen und der entsprechenden mRNA-Impfung beigetragen.

The Upper Rhine Immunology (URI) meeting will bring together researchers from Strasbourg, Basel, Karlsruhe and Freiburg who will present their recent work and expert views in the fields of adaptive and innate immunity, signaling and immune response, hematopoiesis, immunodeficiency, inflammation and disease, as well as immunotherapy.

A big THANK YOU to all the attendees joining this year’s SFB1160 PPII conference, for all the amazing talks and the lively discussions, we are very happy to have had you all here in Freiburg in presence !

The scientific committee had put together a wonderful 3-day programme that attracted more than 260 participants to listen to and discuss exciting scientific talks.

On behalf of the boards of the CRC 1160 – IMPATH and the Center for Chronic Immunodeficiency (CCI), we are delighted to invite you to participate to the “From Paradigms to Paradoxes in Immunity and Immunopathology (PPII) International Conference” – to be held in Freiburg from 06-08 October 2022.
