Diana Dudziak studied Biology at the University in Bayreuth. During her Postdoc time at the Rockefeller University in New York in Michel Nussenzweig’s laboratory, she became interested in dendritic cell subpopulations. Starting her lab in Erlangen at the Department of Dermatology, she currently became Chair of Immunology at the University Hospital Jena. She is fascinated on understanding the function of DCs in the initiation of T cell responses and how to use DCs for immunotherapies in cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases.

Veranstalter:  In this series of online lectures, the DGfI Commission on Gender Equality and Career Development provides a forum for excellent female immunologists. They will share their exciting research, but also talk about their experiences in forming a career as women in STEM. The series is named after Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, who was a daring young English aristocrat who brought smallpox variolation from the Orient to England, a true vaccination pioneer and an extraordinary woman of her times.
