Thrilled to welcome Prof. Alves-Filho from @uspoficial.bsky.social! With a 3-year GRC fellowship, he joins us to advance immune cell research in cancer & autoimmunity, collaborating with @timsparwasser.bsky.social, @luberod.bsky.social and others! 📸 Official welcome at Monday's GRC Jahresfeier! 🔬✨
Thank you to everyone attending our Special Lecture by Nobel Laureate Shimon Sakaguchi today! The co-hosted event with TRR 355 in lecture hall 505 on the #UMCMainz campus was fully booked and well received.
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.
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.
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.
