Duc Dung Le, PhD
joined as a postdoctoral fellow the Beilhack Lab September 2016. He completed his PhD thesis in immunology at the Saarland University Medical Center in the Department of Experimental Pneumology and Allergology. There he investigated the neuro-immune interactions in allergic airway diseases in mouse models and humans. In 2010 he graduated from his biology studies at the Unversity of Hannover, Germany. During his diploma thesis in the Laboratory of Molecular Immunology of Department for Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology at Hannover Medical School he investigated the molecular characterization of Gαi2 specificity for the migration of macrophages.
