As we age, our immune system declines – one element is the blunting of the anti-cancer T-cell response by an intrinsic process known as immune-senescence. Diminished T-cell function has been linked to susceptibility to...

Dr. Boyan Bonev combines computational biology, single cell-omics and genome-editing tools in a truly unique way with the aim to decode neuro-development and brain function. Since August 1st 2018, Boyan Bonev runs his...

For two days in May, Dr. Oliver Bruns and his team organised the first international SWIR imaging workshop at the Helmholtz Pioneer Campus (HPC) in Munich. Participants at the meeting discussed their latest insights into...

Dr. Ryan Remedios is the principal investigator of the Autonomous and Autonomic Systems Group at Helmholtz Pioneer Campus at the Helmholtz Zentrum München since July 2018.

His experimental work established the...

To visualize processes in living organisms is the goal of Dr. Oliver Bruns and his team at the Helmholtz Pioneer Campus. His work is now being funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) with an Emmy Noether grant,...

On January 15, 2019, the City of Munich invited international scientists of various career stages to a formal reception at the Old City Hall in the heart of Munich, among them HPC Principal Investigators Celia P....

The Pioneer Campus at Helmholtz Zentrum München was launched about one year ago and the first teams have already started their research. As part of a second recruitment round, the Symposium ‘Engineering Biomedical...

The Pioneer Campus at Helmholtz Zentrum München was launched only about one year ago. Since then the first top scientists started their interdisciplinary research. Further, this ambitious initiative nominated a prominent...
