Our aims
Our group studies the immune system in cancer and following stem cell transplantation. Tumors can impact immune responses and thereby escape from immune surveillance. A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms shall help us to develop innovative immune-based therapies against cancer. Furthermore, we seek out to utilize our insights from tumor biology for a targeted immunological fine-tuning. Those approaches could represent the foundation for novel experimental interventions against Graft-versus-Host disease that affects transplanted patients and that can be difficult treat.
