Bio:

Maximilian is an Assistant Investigator at the Allen Institute for Immunology. Supported by a scholarship of the German National Academic Foundation, Maximilian obtained his medical degree from the University of Freiburg, where he also completed his residency in pediatrics, focusing on immune disorders and immunodeficiencies. Before joining the Allen Institute and supported by a research scholarship from the German Research Foundation, Maximilian completed a postdoctoral fellowship under the supervision of Ananda Goldrath at the University of California San Diego. During his postdoc, he studied how T cells adapt to tissue microenvironments during an acute infection, how long-term immune residency is established and revealed that T cell location and functional state are fundamentally intertwined.
