PhD Students Organize UN Visit

Our PhD Students representative Amir Hossein Kayvanjoo organized a visit to the UN on February 14th.

The visit was focused on the career and internship opportunities in the UN organization! It was great to see many PhD students were interested and more than 20 participants took part.

During the tour we were presented with the career options that one can have and also different tracks to enter into the UN. In addition we were also given a brief introduction into the structure of the UN. The visit ended with a walk in the last floor of the UN Campus tower. This was the highlight of our tour as everyone enjoyed not only the view of Bonn from the second tallest building in the city but also the participants were able to see through Cologne and the Cologne cathedral!

Hopefully more events organized by the great PhD representatives are to come.

A team of international researchers, including ImmunoSensation³ member Prof. Jörg Wenzel, reports promising phase 2 results for enpatoran, a first-in-class oral TLR7/8 inhibitor, in patients with cutaneous and systemic lupus erythematosus (CLE/SLE). In the WILLOW trial, enpatoran significantly improved skin disease activity in a dose-dependent manner and showed favourable safety outcomes. In systemic SLE, treatment also reduced global disease activity and rapidly suppressed the type I interferon gene signature. The twin studies were published in The Lancet and The Lancet Rheumatology.
