DKFZ Immunology, Infection and Cancer
@dkfz-iic.bsky.social
The 'Immunology, Infection and Cancer' research program at the DKFZ in Heidelberg focuses on the interactions between pathogens and the immune system and how they drive carcinogenesis with the aim to develop novel immunotherapeutic approaches to cancer.
📣Join us today at 4 pm in ATV where we will hear two talks by Aikaterini Kadianaki (AG Heikenwälder) and Luisa Burger (AG Harbottle) who will tell us more about regulation of immunosurveillance in HCC and genetic modification of NK cells using SMAR Nanovectors. See you soon!✌🏼 @dkfz.bsky.social
