Biography
As a scientist with a medical background, it's natural that my research interests are placed at the crossroads of medicine and biology. Since the earliest days of my lab career I was attracted to molecular and cellular immunology. The more I learned, the more my interest evolved toward studying ontogeny and phylogeny of the immune system. The reason was simple: I wished to understand its function, and that is still my wish. During the last twenty years of the past century I've worked on important issues in immunology at the Max-Planck-Institute for Biology
