Cooperation Projects
In order to strengthen collaboration within the institute, across working groups and platforms, and to sharpen the institute's scientific profile, HI-TRON Mainz is funding groundbreaking strategic projects by its scientists.
Already in 2020, three first projects were launched under the umbrella of the Scientific Management Board in the field of tumor microenvironment, tumor biomarkers and identification of neoepitope-specific TCRs.
In 2023, a new round of strategic projects has been selected.…
