Congratulations to Dr. Sina Bohnacker for winning the Helmholtz Munich Doctoral Researcher Award for her thesis
Congratulations to Dr. Sina Bohnacker for winning the Helmholtz Munich Doctoral Researcher Award for her thesis entitled “From viruses to worms - regulation of macrophage activation in infectious disease”! In her work, Sina has explored immunological mechanisms that regulate macrophage effector functions during helminth infection, COVID-19 and allergic asthma. Sina’s research has resulted in several first and co-author publications in high-ranking journals as well as a patent application. She is currently continuing her work on helminth-driven immune regulation as a postdoc in the laboratory of Prof. Julia Esser-von Bieren at the Department of Immunobiology (UNIL).
