News Overview

A new podcast episode of “#exzellenterklaert - Spitzenforschung für alle” is online. In this episode, Bettina Weigelin and Judith Feucht explore the question how we can help our immune system in the fight against cancer with CAR-T cell therapies. The two researchers are working together in the iFIT - Cluster of Excellence to develop new methods to improve cancer immunotherapy. At the heart of the therapy are T-cells, which play a central role in our immune system. These are being modified in Judith Feucht's lab so that they can better fight the cancer cells. Using state-of-the-art microscopes, Bettina Weigelin then studies how well the modified T-cells fight cancer.

The German science podcast “Exzellent Erklärt - Spitzenforschung für alle” on current science topics reflects the re­search diversity of the Germany’s leading re­search institutions and Clusters of Excellence: from Antiquities to Quan­tum Physics. In each episode, listeners can expect insights into the interdisciplinary work of one re­search network.
