Christoph Kreer, Ph.D

Senior Scientist at University of Cologne

Speaker

Dr. Christoph Kreer is a senior scientist at the Institute of Virology, University of Cologne, Germany, where he leads a research unit on immunodynamics and molecular evolution. His work focuses on how immune history and antigen evolution shape human B-cell responses across infections and cancer. Using single B cell technologies, molecular evolution, and systems-level repertoire analysis, he isolates and characterizes human antibodies against emerging viral threats, including influenza A and zoonotic variants. His research aims to uncover principles that enable the rational steering of immune responses for therapeutic and preventive applications.
