Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Volker Schirrmacher
Wissenschaftlicher Leiter der Tumorimmunologie am IOZK
Krebsforscher und Immunologe
Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Volker Schirrmacher erhielt 1976 einen Ruf an das Deutsche Krebsforschungszentrum (DKFZ) in Heidelberg als Wissenschaftlicher Rat und Professor für Immunologie. 1979 habilitierte er sich in Immunologie in Heidelberg und 1986 wurde er ordentlicher Professor. Am DKFZ leitete er die Abteilung zelluläre Immunologie bis zu seiner Emeritierung 2008.
Seit 2008 ist er am IOZK Wissenschaftlicher Leiter der Tumorimmunologie. Sein Wissenschaftliches Œuvre umfasst fast 400 Veröffentlichungen in internationalen Fachzeitschriften.
1987 und 1988 war er Vorsitzender der Sektion Experimentelle Krebsforschung bei der Deutschen Krebsgesellschaft und 1989/80 Präsident der Metastasis Research Society. 2003 und 2004 vertrat er Deutschland bei der European Association of Cancer Research (EACR). Von 2009 bis 2011 war er Präsident der Europäischen Gesellschaft für Angewandte Immunologie e.V. (EGAI).
1982 erhielt er den Aronson-Preis und den Meyenburg-Preis und 1988 den Deutschen Krebspreis.
Er ist ein international anerkannter Pionier der Immuntherapie bei Krebs mit dem Schwerpunkt onkolytische Viren. Gemeinsam mit den Naturwissenschaftlern und Ärzten am IOZK arbeitet er an der systematischen Integration neuer wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse zur Weiterentwicklung der IOZK-Immuntherapie.
„Viren sind als Auslöser verschiedener Krankheiten bekannt. Weniger bekannt ist jedoch, dass bestimmte Viren für die Behandlung von Krebs eingesetzt werden. Vor über 100 Jahren beobachteten Ärzte erstmals, dass Patienten nach Virusinfektionen von ihrem Krebsleiden geheilt waren.“
