AG Dr. med. Livius Penter

We investigate immune cell responses against blood malignancies using computational immunogenomics approaches.

Focus of research

We are committed to understanding how immune cells control malignant transformation, why this fails in cancer and how we can regain tumor control through therapeutic immunomodulation.

We use a computational immunogenomics approach to dissect interactions between tumor and immune cells with a focus on blood malignancies and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Our goal is to identify and develop novel strategies for immunotherapies.
