Founded in 2012, ImmunoSensation is currently in its fifteenth year of funding. ImmunoSensation3 unites the major centers of immunological research in Bonn: the Faculty of Medicine, the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (LIMES, Life and Medical Sciences), and the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE). We are immunologists, neurobiologists, systems biologists, biochemists, biophysicists and mathematicians.

Our scientific program is designed to address key challenges in immunology, with an emphasis on innate immunity and immune sensing. As a dynamic system, the immune system’s structures, functions and dynamics depend on genetic and environmental influences, lifestyle, gender, previous illnesses and age. These influences are reflected at the molecular, the cellular and the systemic level of the body. The resulting constant change and natural diversity of the immune system is referred to as Immune Diversity. ImmunoSensation3 is now applying its current knowledge of the immune sensory system to unravel the emerging challenge of Immune Diversity across scales with the goal to enhance the health of the diverse individuals of our world.
