During the first week, lectures on current topics in infectious diseases and immunology are held by scientists from MHH, HZI, Fraunhofer ITEM and TWINCORE, as well as renowned international guest speakers. In the second and third weeks, students apply their newly acquired knowledge in laboratory rotations – and have the opportunity to establish contacts with various research groups during this time.
Workshop topics
- Pathogen sensing, mouse models
- Induction of pathogen-specific immunity
- Infection of organs
- Genetic and environmental impact on infection
- scRNAseq workshop
- Intervention strategies
Who can apply?
The workshop will provide top-level training for young students of biosciences & medicine (Bachelor / Master degree) who plan to pursue a PhD in immunology. Includes one week of lectures and up to two weeks of hands-on training (lab rotation).
Participation is limited to 40 young researchers.
Travel grants are available for all international students.
