His pioneering work on #Tregs has fundamentally shaped modern immunology. It was an honor to celebrate this well-deserved recognition and to welcome such an outstanding scientist to Mainz.
Congratulations to José Carlos Alves Filho on being elected today as a Gutenberg Research College Fellow.
This is a fantastic recognition of his scientific excellence and international standing. It was a pleasure to celebrate this moment at JGU.
Today we celebrated the 85th birthday of my mentor, Prof. Hermann Wagner, on a wonderful day at the Ammersee.
Many of his former mentees now hold (or held) chairs in medical microbiology or immunology, carrying forward his standards, curiosity, and academic rigor. Happy Birthday Hermann!

Warmest congratulations to Prof. Shimon Sakaguchi on receiving an honorary doctorate from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.
A deeply deserved recognition for a scientist whose discovery of regulatory T cells reshaped modern immunology.
Proud that my proposal has now come to fruition.
