iFIT Distinguished Lecture Series with Natalie Köhler, PhD
The Role of CMTM6 in Immune Escape of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
On behalf of the iFIT spokespersons Lars Zender, Juliane Walz and Bernd Pichler, it is our pleasure to inform you about and invite you to the next episode of our iFIT Distinguished Lecture Series 2025 that will take place
on Monday, November 24th at 12:00 pm (CET)
at Big Lecture Hall, Medical Clinic (Otfried-Müller-Straße 10).
Our guest speaker, Natalie Köhler, PhD (Department of Internal Medicine I, Medical Center – University of Freiburg ) will give a talk on
"The Role of CMTM6 in Immune Escape of Acute Myeloid Leukemia".
Relapse of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a major cause of death in patients undergoing this therapy. AML relapse is primarily attributed to the loss of the graft-versus-leukemia effect, allowing leukemia cells to evade the allogeneic immune response. In their study, the team surrounding Jun. Prof. Köhler discovered a new mechanism of oncogene-induced stabilization of CMTM6 in AML cells, resulting in leukemia immune escape.
As a special feature of this program, iFIT will sponsor free lunch packages! (First come, first serve)
All members of the University Hospital and University of Tübingen are invited to participate!
We look forward to this Dinstguished Lecture and to see you there!
