Really excited to be part of this fantastic and highly interdiciplinary initiative! 🤓🧬 Fingers crossed for May 22nd! #SynthImmune
The SynthImmune project by Heidelberg University& partner institutes advances a "bottom-up" synthetic biology approach to immunotherapies.
Hoping they do well in the German government's Excellence Strategy—anticipating the announcement on 22 May.
