Ettal 💐 Spring School 2026: Deep Dives into Current Concepts in Immunology Hashtag#dgfispringschool During a week long, intensive course in Ettal, Bavaria, 30 leading speakers and 63 participants from nine countries explored cutting edge immunology. Through lectures by leading scientists, aspiring young researchers gained deep insight into both innate and adaptive immunity, exploring how NK cells, neutrophils, macrophages, dendritic cells, T cells and B cells defend against pathogens and tumors while shaping immune memory. The talks covered immune regulation, autoimmunity, immunometabolism, complement, innate memory plasticity, cancer reprogramming, and the effects of extreme space conditions, offering therapeutic insights for autoimmune disease and cancer. Industry partners shared translational insights and practical guidance. Participants benefited from quick “speed dating” panels and poster sessions, sparking idea exchanges and future collaborations. We thank all speakers, participants, and industrial sponsors for making the event a success and look forward to the next Spring School, scheduled for March 8-12, 2027.

I had an absolutely fantastic time at the 21st @dgfi-org.bsky.social Spring School in Ettal, Bavaria, Germany. It was a true pleasure discussing with the incredibly talented students and postdocs. Thank you to the organizers for the kind invitation and the superb organization! #dgfispringschool
I'd like to see this problem analysed at the single cell multi-omics level
'Advances in research technolo- gies are crucial for the scientific enterprise but have an unintended consequence: when pow- erful techniques become widely available, they tend to be applied without a good question in mind.'
Most successful University of Excellence - In the atrium of the rectorate building, University members watched with bated breath as the decision on excellence was announced.
Most successful University of Excellence - Rector Hoch, together with the Rectorate and hundreds of guests, burst into cheers when the decision was announced.
Great news—We remain the most successful German University of Excellence! With eight Clusters of Excellence and funding secured until 2033, we’re moving closer to our goal of establishing our Uni permanently among the best universities in the world: www.uni-bonn.de/en/news/040-...

What mechanisms drive checkpoint inhibitor-associated interstitial nephritis (ICI-AIN)?
In our preprint, we identify CD8 T cells as a central player, inducing a proinflammatory myeloid cell state by IFNg and structuring lymphoid aggregates by CXCL13.
