Directeur scientifique de l'immunologie des tumeurs à l'IOZK
Directeur scientifique de l'immunologie des tumeurs à l'IOZK
En 1976, le professeur Volker Schirrmacher a été nommé conseiller scientifique et professeur d'immunologie au Centre allemand de recherche sur le cancer (DKFZ) à Heidelberg. En 1979, il a obtenu son habilitation en immunologie à Heidelberg et en 1986, il est devenu professeur ordinaire. Au DKFZ, il a dirigé le département d'immunologie cellulaire jusqu'à son départ à la retraite en 2008.
Depuis 2008, il est directeur scientifique de l'immunologie des tumeurs à l'IOZK. Son œuvre scientifique comprend près de 400 publications dans des revues internationales.
En 1987 et 1988, il a été président de la section Recherche expérimentale sur le cancer de la Société allemande du cancer et, en 1989/80, président de la Metastasis Research Society. En 2003 et 2004, il a représenté l'Allemagne auprès de l'European Association of Cancer Research (EACR). De 2009 à 2011, il a été président de l'European Society for Applied Immunology e.V. (EGAI).
En 1982, il a reçu le prix Aronson et le prix Meyenburg et, en 1988, le prix allemand du cancer.
Il est un pionnier de renommée internationale dans le domaine de l'immunothérapie du cancer, avec un accent particulier sur les virus oncolytiques. En collaboration avec les scientifiques et les médecins de l'IOZK, il travaille à l'intégration systématique de nouvelles connaissances scientifiques pour développer l'immunothérapie de l'IOZK.
"Les virus sont connus pour être à l'origine de diverses maladies. Ce que l'on sait moins, en revanche, c'est que certains virus sont utilisés pour traiter le cancer. Il y a plus de 100 ans, des médecins ont observé pour la première fois que des patients avaient guéri de leur cancer après avoir été infectés par des virus".
