New podcast episode with Prof. Dr. Josef Leibold!

🎙 The next podcast episode of “Exzellent Erklärt – Spitzenforschung für alle” is online! 🌃 The days are getting shorter and the temperatures are slowly dropping 🌡. Winter is slowly approaching! ❄ Time for many animals to go into hibernation. But can tumor cells also go into a kind of hibernation?! 😲 And how does this help fight cancer? 🤔  ➡ Tune in and let Josef Leibold explain how he wants to use this cellular “hibernation” to improve cancer immunotherapies (in 🇩🇪) https://exzellent-erklaert.podigee.io/51-neue-therapien-gegen-krebs-tumorzellen-in-den-winterschlaf-versetzen

👨‍🔬 As a researcher group leader in our Cluster, he is working on optimizing CAR-T cell therapy for solid tumors. 👨‍⚕️ At the same time, he is a physician at Universitätsklinikum Tübingen. The therapy focuses on T cells, which play a central role in our immune system. These are genetically modified in the laboratory so that they can better fight the respective cancer cells.
