-The mammalian immune response depends on the interaction and collaboration of many, highly individual cells. In particular, a network of interacting lymphocytes is critical for the course of an inflammatory response, which under certain circumstances can become self-sustained and thus evoke chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Our recent work has emphasized the need for mathematical analysis in the regulation of immune responses (Thurley et al., //PLoS Comp Biol// 2015; Hammer et al., //Nat Immunol// 2018; Thurley, Wu, Altschuler, //Cell Systems// 2018). We develop and apply mathematical modeling and data analysis techniques to investigate the regulation of immune responses, in close collaboration with physicians and immuno-biologists.  +The mammalian immune response depends on the interaction and collaboration of many, highly individual cells.

-** Bachelor and master students are always welcome**. We seek highly motivated students with a background in (bio-)physics, mathematics or systems biology. Projects typically include a combination of biological data analysis and mathematical modeling, in particular analysis of single-cell sequencing data, quantitative image analysis, spatial and stochastic modeling techniques, as well as ordinary differential equation models. We closely collaborate with wet-lab immunologists at the DRFZ. Please contact  [[kevin.thurley@drfz.de]].
