Dr. Bin Qu, PI of project A2 and memeber of the steering committe of the SFB 1027, was nominated as INM fellow by the Leibniz Institute for New Materials (INM). She’s a group leader in Biophysics at the Saarland University Faculty of Medicine. She investigates the way how killer cells from the immune system find and destroy infected or tumorigenic cells. In cooperation with the INM, she focuses in her research on how killer cells move across tissues and are influenced by the physical and chemical properties of the microenvironment. For this purpose, she works closely with the INM groups Dynamic Biomaterials and Cytoskeletal Fibers. Dr Qu’s expertise reinforces the activities in the field of immunomodulatory materials at INM.
