LISA recruits international students at Bachelor's and Master's levels in the life sciences (biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, biomedicine, human biology, medicine, veterinary medicine, pharmacology) and engineering who demonstrate a strong interest in immunology, ranging from basic science to translational aspects and innovative therapies.
The successful LISA programme, now with over 300 alumni, selects highly qualified students in the life sciences for an intensive, short-term course on current topics in immunology research and experimental techniques.
This field has gained tremendous momentum over the past 20 years due to progress in the area of innate and adaptive immunity. Processes of inflammation, immunity and tolerance at mucosal surfaces (such as lung and bowels) have been a long-term focus of research at MHH, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). Lecturers will present their scientific work from these DFG Collaborative Research Centres and will allow students to participate in practical demonstrations and lab rotations. The programme consists of one week of lectures given by scientists from MHH, HZI, and Twincore, followed by at least one (and up to two) week-long rotations in campus laboratories, in which participants have the opportunity to apply their new knowledge of immunology. The LISA programme is supplemented by state-of-the-art knowledge presented by renowned researchers from prestigious institutions. International students will further have the opportunity to present their own scientific work in poster sessions and will get the chance to meet German and international students currently enrolled in MHH PhD programmes.
