FELLOWS

The IMMUFELLOW programme will recruit 22 postdoctoral researchers to complete 36-month long immunology related research projects. The first call, which closed in November 2025, recruited 11 researchers and the second call will open during Autumn 2026. This page introduces the selected researchers and their topics.

This is will be updated later with further fellow introductions
