Christian Vosshenrich

Christian Vosshenrich earned his PhD in the laboratory of Klaus Rajewsky at the Institute of Genetics, University of Cologne, where he worked on B cell development. He then moved to Paris to join James Di Santo’s laboratory at the Institut Pasteur, where he began studying NK cells, with a particular focus on the regulation of their development. In 2004, he obtained a position as staff scientist, continuing his work on NK cells and focusing primarily on their role in antitumor responses. In 2015, he became a group leader in James Di Santo’s lab, heading the “NK cells and ILC1 Biology” group, with a focus on the regulation of ILC diversity in mice. This year, Christian Vosshenrich became head of the “Mouse Genetics, Immunity and Infection” laboratory at the Institut Pasteur, where he studies the regulation of immune responses to human pathogens in preclinical models.
