Publications
Research at the Leibniz Institute for Immunology focuses on the development of pioneering immune-cell therapies targeting cancer, autoimmune diseases, and chronic inflammation. While developments in this field are highly relevant within the medical community, they are also of great interest to the wider general public. The LIT has a comprehensive archive of international articles, publications, lectures, and online resources aimed at a variety of audiences. So, whoever you are, if you do not find what you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact us.
