Sarah Eickhoff

Sarah received her PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) from the Institute of Experimental Immunology at the University Hospital of Bonn, Germany. During her PhD studies she focused on the importance of cell-cell interactions for the development of a functional and optimal T cell response. Thereby, she outlined the complex choreography of cellular interactions underlying effective cell mediated anti-viral T cell responses with mouse models, multi-color flow cytometry and cutting-edge microscopy including 2-photon imaging of live animals. Mastering these technologies allowed her to contribute to many interesting collaborations where she got insights into cancer biology and the importance of immune cell interactions for cancer immunotherapy. Sarah joined the Bald lab to study the immune cell interactions not only in infection but also in cancer.
