 | Katrin Mestermann Uniklinikum Würzburg; Medizinische Klinik II/ Hämatologie AG Hudecek Research: CAR T cells are genetically engineered T cells that are able to specifically identify and eliminate tumor cells. While being highly efficient in the treatment of hematologic malignancies, these cells can ‘overact` and cause possibly life-threatening side effects. As control mechanisms are lacking, we searched for and identified a Tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is able to mediate control over CAR T cells and characterized its inhibition pattern and mode of action in vitro and in vivo. | |
 | Yvonne Schurr Institute of Experimental Biomedicine I, University Hospital and Rudolf Virchow Center University of Würzburg AG Bender Research: Role of cytoskeletal-regulating proteins in platelet biogenesis and function. | |
 | Lukas Weiß Institute of Experimental Biomedicine I, University Hospital and Rudolf Virchow Center University of Würzburg AG Schulze Research: Altered platelet function of patients with sepsis. | |
 | Nicolò Gabriele Pozzi Department of Neurology, University Hospital Würzburg AG Isais Research: Motor behaviours are associated with dynamic synchronization of distributed neural networks, a mechanism for brain coordination. We study the role of altered neural networks dynamics in movement disorders by combining clinical, electrophysiological, biomechanical and molecular imaging findings. | |
 | Robin Grob Chair of behavioral Physiology and Sociobiology AG Rössler Research: Desert ants are master navigators using an impressive toolkit to always find their way back home. We investigate how the tiny ant brain is capable of setting up and calibrating this navigational toolkit during the very first steps outside the dark nest. |

 | Diyaa Ashour Institute for Virology and Immunobiology AG Lutz Research: IL-12-dependent Th1 priming by a DC vaccine in vivo requires cooperation of dendritic cells subsets. | |
 | Lena Böhm Institute for Virology and Immunobiology AG Pérez Research: Regulatory circuits underlying host colonization by C. Albicans. |
