I studied medicine in Bordeaux, Homburg and Zurich and performed my doctoral thesis in the laboratory of C. Renner and A. Knuth in Zurich. After graduating from medical school, I started my residency in Hamburg and worked with D. Atanackovic in the field of tumor immunology. After a stay at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, I established my own research group at the University hospital of the LMU. I am a board certified immunologist and clinical pharmacologist. Since 2019, I serve as Professor of Medicine and Experimental Immunooncology and as deputy director of the Division of Clinical Pharmacology at the University Hospital of the LMU. My research is focused on developing and testing novel strategies to treat cancer using the immune system. My goal is to bring these innovations to the clinics to the benefit of patients affected from cancer. Most of my free time is dedicated to my family and in what might be left of it, I run.
