Registration now open for the I&I Berlin Symposium 2026! Are you part of Berlin’s immunology community or planning to become one? On March 17, 2026, the symposium bringing together researchers, clinicians, & early-career scientists working on immunology and inflammation.

📢 Interested in #immunology research? Join our “Afternoon for Immunology”! Scientists at all career stages will present their research. 📍 September 4, 15:00-18:00 Robert-Rössle-Str 10 Dendrit 2/3 13125 Berlin 🔗 www.mdc-berlin.de/Afternoonfor...

🥁 Extremely happy to share that my first review as corresponding author for a major outlet is now out in @nataging.nature.com: “Understanding and improving vaccine efficacy in older adults”. 👉 nature.com/articles/s43... (1/5)

Can fasting boost vaccine protection as we age? A trial at #mdcBerlin is testing intermittent fasting before flu & COVID shots to strengthen immunity in adults 60+. Aging weakens the immune system, but fasting may restore autophagy and improve vaccine responses. 🔗 www.mdc-berlin.de/news/news/bo...

I am overjoyed to present our latest paper on Autophagy in CD8 Tcells! www.nature.com/articles/s41... It was, as all ‘sciencing’ is, a huge team effort. I will try to do it some justice in the following thread 😊 1/n @cantrell-lab.bsky.social @immpres.bsky.social @ajmhowden.bsky.social

Super cool story about macrophages distinguishing dead and live bacteria based on metabolic cues and how they are utilised differently to shape immunomeabolism
