Highly Cited Researchers 2022

ImmunoSensation is prominently represented in the “Highly Cited Researchers 2022” ranking

The Bonn Cluster of Excellence ImmunoSensation2 once more is strongly represented in this year’s ranking of highly cited researchers. Prof. Eicke Latz, head of the Institute of Innate Immunity at the University Hospital Bonn, Prof. Andreas Schlitzer, head of the Quantitative Systems Biology group at LIMES Institute of Bonn University as well as Prof. Joachim Schultze, Director Systems Medicine at the DZNE, are among the year’s most influential researchers once more.

The researchers on the list of "Highly Cited Researchers" are among the world's most influential one percent of their scientific field, according to the creators of the ranking. The benchmark is the frequency with which their scientific publications have been cited by other scientists in the last ten years (period from 2011 to 2021). The ranking is published annually by the Web of Science Group and includes around 6,200 scientists in 21 subject categories.

Prof. Eicke Latz is awarded as one of the most influential researchers in the field of immunology for the nineth time in a row. He has been ranked as one of the “highly cited researchers” every single year, since 2014. Prof. Andreas Schlitzer receives the award for the fourth time. He has been ranked as “highly cited researcher” in cross-Field annually, starting 2019. Prof. Joachim Schultze is ranked for the second time. He had been among the “highly cited researchers” in cross-Field in 2021 and this year belongs to the most influential researchers in the field of immunology.

The full list of researchers is published by web of science and can be found at https://clarivate.com/highly-cited-researchers/

Artificial intelligence to help tumor immunology

The success of cancer treatment depends not only on the type of tumor, but also on the surrounding tissue. Tumors influence it to their advantage, promoting the growth of blood vessels or fooling incoming immune cells. Developing methods to predict the nature of the resulting tumor microenvironment is the goal of researchers from the Clusters of Excellence ImmunoSensation² and the Hausdorff Center for Mathematics (HCM) led by Prof. Kevin Thurley at the University of Bonn. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research is funding the "InterpretTME" project with around 800,000 euros.

Rayk Behrendt receives prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant

The human genome harbors large segments that offer no obvious benefit and can potentially even cause disease. Nevertheless, these areas are copied and maintained every time a cell divides, which means a considerable effort and energy cost for the body. What is the evolutionary advantage of preserving these areas? This is the question that virologist and immunologist Prof. Rayk Behrendt from the Cluster of Excellence ImmunoSensation² at the University of Bonn is…
