Kick-off for joint research projects at the interface of materials science and immunotherapy

A delegation of scientists from the Leibniz Institute for Immunotherapy (LIT) recently visited the Leibniz Institute for New Materials (INM) in Saarbrücken. The aim of the meeting was to establish collaborations between the institutes in order to develop innovative forms of therapy at the interface between materials science and immunotherapy. There was particular interest in the topics of “synthetic cells,” “therapeutic Lactobacillus engineering,” and “optogenetic T-cell control.”

In addition to scientific exchange, getting to know each other personally was also an important part of the meeting.  © LIT
