Early life gut immunologist aiming to improve pediatric oral vaccines @HZI #newPI Interested in CD4 T cells and DCs
Getting vaccinated saves lives. New data shows that global immunization coverage has moved forward in 2025. 85% or 110 million infants were immunized in 2025—nearly 1 million more infants than the previous year. Let’s make sure children don’t miss out living healthy & joyful lives: bit.ly/4pvS1uX

#ProudPI moment: @eva-stange.bsky.social , the first PhD student of the Torow lab , defended her PhD thesis. She passed with flying colours. Eva has been a truly excellent PhD student, and her contributions to early-life immunity research are already significant — with much more to come.

Proud PI moment: first preprint from the Torow lab🔥. Four years ago @eva-stange.bsky.social set out to map T cell dynamics in the neonatal liver—what a ride. A genuinely collaborative effort, and a special shout-out to Mathias W. Hornef for outstanding mentorship.
Eva-Lena Stange@eva-stange.bsky.social · 8mo agoExcited to share the preprint of my PhD work with @ntorow.bsky.social! We asked what T cells in the neonatal liver are doing. Main takeaways: they’re activated before weaning (unlike in most organs), show distinct microbial sensitivity, form microclusters, and have long-term consequences. 🧵⏬(1/10)

For our #flowcytometry peeps, would you like to have a single fix/perm protocol that is optimised for everything? One that preserves fluorophores while allowing simultaneous TF and cytokine staining? How about 100-fold cheaper? You got it: currentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I have started my own group over a year ago and it has been an exciting journey. I am greatful to my mentor Mathias Hornef from whom I learned so much to prepare me for this. It was a pleasure to reconnect for the SMI oral history project and reflect on the science on neonatal mucosal immunity.
