Great to be at DGHM in Hamburg! 🦠🔬 A fascinating DGHM Lecture: metabolism matters in infection. One important challenge: we need better models to study metabolism during infection in vivo! #DGHM #InfectiousDiseases #Microbiology #Metabolism #HostPathogenInteractions #Research #DFG
Weekend motivation: It’s all relative. Sometimes, changing perspective is enough to change how we see a problem. From the microcosm to the macrocosm, scale reminds us that what feels enormous from one point of view can appear surprisingly small from another. lnkd.in/ex_w-esv

Back from a focused and energizing CRC/SFB-TRR 156 retreat at Kloster Schöntal. Our consortium studies the skin as a sensor and effector organ that shapes local and systemic immune responses. #DFG #TRR156 #researchingermany #scientificexcellence
Fantastic #TRR355 - Integrated Research Training Group (IRTG) retreat and TRR355 international symposium on regulatory T cells, featuring a fantastic lineup of speakers in Waldenburg, Germany! #DFG #researchingermany #scientificexcellence
Today we celebrated the 85th birthday of my mentor, Prof. Hermann Wagner, on a wonderful day at the Ammersee. Many of his former mentees now hold (or held) chairs in medical microbiology or immunology, carrying forward his standards, curiosity, and academic rigor. Happy Birthday Hermann!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Nobel Laureate Shimon Sakaguchi is coming to Mainz 🎓 Join us for a special lecture on “Regulatory T cells for immune tolerance” 📅 May 19, 2026 🕐 13:00 📍 Lecture Hall H505 Hosted by IMMH & TRR355 ⚠️ Limited seats, so secure your spot now!! 🔗 forms.gle/XAarkDq98hWR...
