Development and Regulation of IL-17 Producing Cells During Inflammation
The immune system has evolved to protect mammals from environmental stress factors such as pathogens. It functions as a…
Genetic Diseases of the Central Nervous System
Many functions of the healthy brain are controlled by local protein synthesis. So-called synaptic plasticity, which is the cellular basis of…
Skin Immunology & Immunotherapy of Skin Tumours
In my group, we pursue several aspects of cutaneous and general immunology research with the goal of developing immunotherapies to treat cancer. Our…
Clinical Genomics & Bioinformatics
Basic and clinical research in the omics field generates an ever-growing amount of high-dimensional data which requires advanced bioinformatical and statistical…
My group is interested in molecular pathways that interfere with physiological and pathological processes of neuronal ageing. We aim to elucide how resilient ageing can be achieved and why not only…
Regulation of T Cell Responses in Disease
The major focus of research in my laboratory is the regulation of T cell responses in a context- and tissue-specific manner. Here, we focus particularly on…
Age-related Alterations in CNS Immunosurveillance
The group of Stefan Bittner is located at the PKZI building in close proximity to the Department of Neurology, allowing a close interaction between…
