Systems Immunology Lab
The junior research group around Dr. Florian Wimmers answers questions in basic and translational immunology using systems biology tools. Their goal is to understand how the immune system fights cancer and infection and what happens when it is forced to fight both at the same time. Cancer patients are at high risk of infection and often respond poorly to vaccinations. In the Wimmers Lab, researchers are working to understand how cancer manipulates the immune system to cause dysregulation and how this influences the response to vaccines.
