The immune system is the only mobile organ: immune cells constantly patrol the entire body and scan their surroundings. The immune system plays a role in every disease – which makes it all the more important to understand the entire complex defense system. The Heidelberg immunologist Stefan Meuer has made a significant contribution to research into human immune cells in recent decades. Meuer describes his field as a “game changer” in medicine over the last 30 years. In his lecture, he provides insights into the progress of rheumatism medications, immunotherapies and the latest findings in transplant medicine.

Prof. Dr. Stefan Meuer was managing director of the Institute for Immunology at Heidelberg University Hospital for 26 years and co-founder of the Heidelberg Blood Donor Center. His research provided insights into basic defense mechanisms used in the treatment of cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and transplant rejection.
