Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology

The Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology in Leipzig is a research center focused on cell biology, immunology, and drug development. Its facilities include specialized laboratories that operate under strict safety standards to work with highly infectious agents.

The institute was founded as part of the Fraunhofer Society's expansion into medical research and established specialized laboratories for cellular studies in eastern Germany. This creation was a key step in building research capacity in the region.

The institute brings together researchers from many countries who work side by side on medical advances. Their collaboration shapes how problems in biotechnology and drug development are approached.

This is a research facility designed primarily for professionals rather than casual visitors. Information about tours or insights into ongoing work can be requested through official channels of the institute.

The research teams develop specialized cell therapies, particularly CAR-T cells and CAR macrophages, for cancer treatment. This focus on immune cell therapies for solid tumors represents an innovative approach beyond conventional treatment methods.
