DFG-TRR1278 Polytarget will be funded for 4 years ! We are newbies and strive to determine the role of embryonic versus adult macrophages in polymicrobial sepsis. To this end we use state-of-the-art mouse models and nanoparticle-mediated delivery of the CRISPR/Cas9 complexes aiming at the prevention of an overshooting immune response to polymicrobial sepsis, project C06 headed by Michael Bauer, Ulrich Schubert and Claudia Waskow.

June 2021, PhD defense Gulce - we are so proud of you!

DFG-TRR127 will be funded for another 4 years - we are very much looking forward to determine the Immunogenicity of islets of different clinically relevant sources in a preclinical humanized mouse model, project A05 headed by our fantastic collaborative team: Barbara Ludwig, Andreas Linkermann and Claudia Waskow.

It is such an honor to be elected for president of the German Stem Cell Network (GSCN) 2023-2024. I am looking forward to serve on the GSCN executive board for the next six years and I strive to support the GSCN wherever I can.
As designated president of the GSCN (2023-2024) and as member of the executive board for the next six years, I have the opportunity to ensure that the network continues along its tradition of scientific excellence in stem cell research along with remaining THE interactive hub for stem cell research in Germany.

Every man desires to live long, but no man wishes to be old.
(Jonathan Swift, 1667-1745)
We are very honored to be on board of the IMPULS consortium (Identification and manipulation of the physiological and psychological clocks of the lifespan) funded by the Carl Zeiss Foundation to determine biological age and factors that influence the complex aging process in humans. We aim at reducing and preventing detrimental effects of immune-senescence by protecting immune cells from replication-mediated functional impairments.
