Luka Cicin-Sain, HZI Helmholtz Center for Infection Research, Braunschweig Title: It takes two to tango: the immune system and the CMV https://www.helmholtz-hzi.de/en/research/research-topics/immune-response/immune-aging-and-chronic-infections/luka-cicin-sain/ Luka Cicin-Sain‘s research group studies ubiquitous viruses that are persist for life in most people worldwide. In particular, our focus is on herpesviruses, whose persistence during latent infection shapes the immune system and its functionality.
Michael Sixt, Institute of Science and Technology (IST) Austria Title: How leukocytes navigate through tissues https://ist.ac.at/de/forschung/sixt-gruppe/ Michael Sixt’s laboratory is interested in morphodynamic processes both at the cellular and at the tissue level. They focus on the immune system and try to understand the molecular and mechanical principles underlying leukocyte dynamics during processes such as […]
