Successful inaugural lecture
"Caught in the NET - White blood cells at the interface between inflammation and thrombosis" was the title of the inaugural lecture by our ACS Fellow Dr. Moritz Leppkes. He vividly explained the similarities between neutrophil granulocytes and Spiderman in the fight against disruptive intruders, and how exploding cola bottles come into play. But joking aside - the research performance shown was outstanding and nothing should stand in the way of the PD now! (13.12.2023)
"Born To Be Wild" - Lecture by Prof. S. Rosshart
In our ‘Hot Topics in Immunomedicine’ seminar series, Prof. S. Rosshart (Head of the new Department of Microbiomics at Erlangen University Hospital) gave an exciting lecture on his ‘wildling’ mouse model and showed how laboratory mice with the microbiome of wild mice are better suited for many experimental questions than pathogen-free laboratory animals. The interest of the audience on site and connected via hybrid from Regensburg and Frankfurt was enormous, as evidenced by the numerous questions at the end! Many thanks, Prof. Rosshart, for the very successful lecture! (Dec 11 2023)
ACSP Kick-off Meeting at the BMBF in Berlin
On 29 November, we met with the project sponsor and the ACS, spokespersons and coordinators of the other BMBF-funded ACS programmes at the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in Berlin to kick off the joint exchange platform. Exciting presentations and lively discussions took place at the large round table and in smaller groups. What does the training of clinician scientists abroad look like? What challenges do the ACS face at their respective locations? How could university medicine look like in the future? This will also be up to our ACS…
At the interface between medicine and physics
The name of our programme, ‘Interfaces in Immunomedicine’, already indicates that the interfaces between immunomedicine and other fields of research are of particular importance. We are therefore looking forward to this event with Prof. Thomas Brabletz (Chair of Experimental Medicine I), organised by the Max Planck Institute for Physics and Medicine.
Our first internal retreat in Herzogenaurach
On 24 October, we met at HerzogsPark in Herzogenaurach for our first internal retreat. The ACS fellows presented their projects and the current status of their research to each other for the first time. This led to many exciting discussions, for which we will need to allow more time next time! Many thanks to all those involved, especially guest speakers Prof. Armin Nagel (Professor of Metabolic and Functional MR Imaging), Prof. Andreas Ramming (Senior Physician, Internal Medicine 3) and Susanne Geu (Digital Science Communication)!

Two of our ACS members will be informing interested members of the public about their work and the latest therapeutic findings at the Long Night of Science 2023:
Dr Fabian Müller will be giving visitors to the Translational Research Centre a tour of the laboratories and answering questions about basic haematological research.
Dr Martin Regensburger will give a lecture entitled ‘Current therapeutic studies in Parkinson's disease’ (11 p.m., small lecture hall, ground floor).
Born To Be Wild – next lecture in our seminar series ‘Hot Topics in Immunomedicine’ on 7 December
We are delighted to announce that Prof. Stephan Rosshart (Head of the new Department of Microbiomics at Erlangen University Hospital) will be joining our seminar series ‘Hot Topics in Immunomedicine’! On 7 December, he will give a lecture on the ‘Wildling’ mouse model he developed (4 p.m., lower lecture hall, Pathology). Access via Universitätsstraße, see map Flyer
Start of our new seminar series ‘Hot Topics in Immunomedicine’
Our ACS Fellow PD Dr Fabian Müller (Haematology and Medical Oncology, Medical Clinic 5) and head of the local CAR T cell unit kicked off our new seminar series ‘Hot Topics in Immunomedicine’ on 12 July with his lecture ‘CAR T cell therapy at the cutting edge’. He gave a very informative presentation on the background and current status of CAR T cell therapy, citing many clinical examples. Many thanks for this very interesting lecture, Fabian!
