Prof. Dr. Kilian Schober

Institute of Microbiology, University Hospital of Erlangen

BIOGRAPHY

Kilian Schober, MD, is a medical microbiologist and Heisenberg Professor for T cell immunology at the Institute of Microbiology, University Hospital of Erlangen, Germany. Kilian studied Medicine at the Universities of Würzburg and London. After his MD thesis in the Kissler lab at Harvard Medical School, Kilian became a medical specialist for Microbiology, Virology and Epidemiology of Infections and joined the team of Dirk Busch at the Technical University of Munich as a post-doctoral fellow.

As of 2021, he has been a group leader at the Institute of Microbiology in Erlangen. For his work, Dr. Schober has been awarded the Jürgen Wehland Award of the Helmholtz Center for Infection Research, the Robert Koch Foundation Postdoc Prize for Immunology, the GlaxoSmithKline Science Award of Clinical Research and the Life Science Bridge Award of the Aventis Foundation. In 2024, Kilian was accepted into the Heisenberg program of the German Research Foundation.

 

Prof. Dr. Naoki Hosen 

Department of Hematology and Oncology, The University of Osaka Graduate School of Medicine

BIOGRAPHY

Naoki Hosen has been working for a long time to identify novel target antigens for hematological cancers and to develop cellular immunotherapies that target them, particularly CAR T cells. As a postdoctoral fellow in Irving L. Weissman’s lab at Stanford University, he began projects searching for cancer stem cell-specific antigens.

In 2007, he returned to the University of Osaka, where he started his own team at the Graduate School of Medicine. He became a professor of hematology and oncology in 2020. His current research focuses on developing CAR T and NK cells for acute myeloid leukemia, for which no CAR T cell therapy is currently available.
