What comes after M1/M2? In our Perspective with @FGinhoux in @ImmunityCP we explore how single-cell technologies and AI can decode the gene programs macrophages use across tissues & microenvironments, and how this modular view could transform immunotherapy

Hi I'm Noël :)
I am a computational researcher and recently started my PhD in the Ingelfinger lab.
I was drawn to the lab’s collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to adress complex biological questions and its strong connection to clinical applications.
What I did before:
I studied Mathematics in Freiburg and Computational Neuroscience in Tübingen with a focus on machine learning. I worked on dimensionality reduction methods and later explored equivariant SSL in my master's thesis.
Thanks a lot @felixjhartmann for giving an inspiring seminar about the spatial metabolic profiling of clinical cancer samples and their predictive power for immunotherapy response 🔥🔥

CytoVI was just published in @naturemethods bringing generative modeling into cytometry practice! Check out the tweetorial below to learn more about the model!
Different panels. Different technologies. Can we bring flow cytometry into biology’s AI revolution?
Introducing CytoVI in @NatureMethods: linking cytometry & single-cell genomics to predict missing markers and reveal disease-associated cell states.🧵(1/15)

Must read! Fantastic work by @RouvenHoefflin & the @TiroshLab team! Congratulations to everyone!
🧵1/ Happy to share our new study:
"Spatial analysis reveals the evolving organization of IDH-mutant glioma"
We asked: How is spatial organization established in glioma before the hypoxic architecture of advanced disease emerges?

Thank you @Cell for highlighting our work on developing the next generation of CAR T cell therapies for immune reset!
Big congrats, Sarah!
I heard Sarah may be hiring, reach out to her if you wanna start a competitive PhD about neuroimmunology! 🫶
Excited to share that I’ve been awarded an @ERC_Research StG! 🎉
My project REMIND asks: How does the inflamed CNS instruct the immune cells that enter it? 🧠🔬
Huge thanks to my team, mentors, colleagues, friends and family for all their support. ❤️
@UZH_en @Unispital_USZ
Celebrating @PabloH_G for successfully defending his masters thesis in our lab! What a fantastic job! 🔥🔥🔥

Hi! I’m Julia :)
I'm a PhD student in the Ingelfinger Lab, which I joined in May 2026.
What drew me here was the exciting research project, the collaborative environment, and the opportunity to explore state-of-the-art technologies in cancer immunology.
These experiences sparked my fascination with the interplay between the immune system and cancer, ultimately leading me to pursue a PhD in cancer immunology.
