Two days of scientific exchange, lively discussions and new perspectives marked this year’s ImmunoSensation³ Cluster Science Days . On November 3rd and 4th, scientists from across the Cluster gathered at the Biomedical Center of the University Hospital Bonn to present their latest research, exchange ideas and strengthen connections within the ImmunoSensation³ community.
The annual internal meeting once again showcased the breadth and diversity of immunological research within ImmunoSensation³. Across a range of scientific sessions, researchers presented their latest findings and discussed current questions in immunology. The talks provided insights into different research approaches and highlighted the many ways in which the Cluster investigates the immune system across molecular, cellular and systemic levels.
A central part of the Cluster Science Days were the poster sessions, which offered plenty of opportunity for in-depth scientific discussions and personal exchange. Researchers at different career stages presented their work and engaged with colleagues from other research groups, fostering new perspectives and potential collaborations.
For the first time, the Cluster Science Days were complemented by "Science meets Art", bringing together scientific research and artistic expression in a new format. Ten scientists presented their research projects through individual works of art, translating scientific questions and ideas into a diverse range of artistic forms, ranging from sculptures, drawings and paintings to projections. The artworks offered a different perspective on the research presented at the meeting and, together with the poster sessions, sparked lively discussions and conversations among the participants.
Beyond the scientific program, the two-day meeting provided ample opportunity for informal exchange and networking. In a relaxed atmosphere, Cluster members and colleagues continued discussions, shared experiences and made new connections across research groups and disciplines. At the conference party, the Cluster’s own band "The Polyclonals", made up of scientists from across ImmunoSensation³, provided the soundtrack for the evening.
We thank all scientists, speakers, contributors and organizers who made the Cluster Science Days 2026 a successful and inspiring meeting.
