Local Research Training Groups
UMM | GRK 2727 | InCheck „Innate Immune Checkpoints in Cancer and Tissue Damage"
The DFG-funded Research Training Group GRK 2727 offers an interdisciplinary doctoral program focused on innate immune checkpoints in NK cells and monocytes/macrophages, with applications in cancer and tissue damage. Combining cutting-edge research, hands-on training, and international collaboration, GRK 2727 prepares students for impactful careers in immunology and translational medicine.
UMM | SFB 1366 | Vascular Control of Organ Function
The CRC 1366 “Vascular Control of Organ Function” investigates the critical role of blood vessels beyond circulation, focusing on their gatekeeper functions in development, homeostasis, inflammation, and disease. By studying organ-specific endothelial and mural cell differentiation, the research aims to uncover molecular mechanisms that regulate vascular control of tissue function and regeneration.
Perpharmance bridges academia and industry by developing innovative stem cell-based drug testing models and analytical tools for personalized medicine.
The M²OLIE Research Training Group is developing a closed-loop concept for the curative treatment of oligometastatic cancer patients, integrating advanced imaging, molecular analysis, and robotic-assisted interventions. By streamlining diagnostics and therapy into a fast, automated, and minimally invasive process, M²OLIE aims to revolutionize cancer treatment and improve patient outcomes.
