Institut für Immunologie
About us
The Institute of Immunology combines two focal points at the Tübingen site: on the one hand, translational immunology with the transfer of clinical studies from the laboratory to the bedside. On the other hand, the Institute is involved in basic research in the fields of T-cell biology, antibody and CAR cell therapies, peptide vaccination, the innate immune system, including toll-like receptors and inflammasomes, and interaction with the microbiome. With the Institute's long-standing expertise in tumour-specific peptides, established by Senior Professor Hans-Georg Rammensee, and new approaches in bioinformatics, personalized vaccines for tumour or infectious diseases are being developed. Tübingen is thus playing a pioneering role in the development of immunotherapies. The institute is also active in translational approaches in the fight against inflammatory processes.

Research areas & Labs
The Institute's expertise covers the following spectrum of immunology:
- T-Cell Biology: in particular the development of peptide-based immunotherapies
- Antibody: The development and testing of bispecific antibodies is a key focus
- Adaptive immune system: Exploring host/tumor and host/pathogen interactions
- Innate immune system: decoding the mode of action of pattern recognition receptors
Research infrastructure
The Institute of Immunology has access to modern and innovative research equipment at the Tübingen site. This includes its own GMP-compliant drug peptide laboratory, the latest generation of mass spectrometers and other omic technologies. In addition, the Institute has access to numerous core facilities of the Faculty of Medicine, such as the FACS Core Facility or the NCCT sequencing center.

We offer courses for Bachelor's and Master's degree programs in Biochemistry, Bioinformatics, Biology, Medicine, Medical Technology, Medical Informatics, Molecular Medicine, Nano-Science and PhD Exp Med.
Our introductory lecture “Introduction to Immunology” takes place every semester, and in the winter semester we also offer the advanced lecture “Advanced Immunology.
Furthermore, we offer different introductory seminars for Bachelor students and advanced seminars for Master students and PhD students as well as practical courses. The advanced seminars are mainly intended for Master students and doctoral candidates, the introductory seminars can only be attended if there are still places available.
Registration for the lectures and seminars takes place via ALMA, the teaching materials are made available on ILIAS.
