Program Overview

Integrated Research Training Group (IRTG) for Oncogene-driven Immune Escape

The IRTG on Oncogene-driven immune escape focuses on tumour immunology and immune-mediated tumor escape. It offers graduate-level early career researchers (ECRs) a structured training program to foster scientific independence, including regular progress reports, retreats, and supervision by a dedicated thesis committee.

Project Summary

The program is further enriched by training initiatives and seminar series, including technical trainings and a literature course on current topics within the broad fields of tumour immunology and immune escape research.
