Biography

Professor Holzmann works in the field of innate immunity, specifically investigating how innate immune responses to nucleic acids serve as endogenous microbial danger signals. He analyzes the mechanisms by which the sensory nervous system controls innate immune responses, with a current focus on understanding the role of these processes in organ regeneration and carcinogenesis in the liver and pancreas. He studied medicine at LMU Munich and his scientific work includes positions at Stanford University and the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry. He has been working at TUM since 1991, initially at the Institute for Medical Microbiology, Immunology and Hygiene, then at the Surgical Clinic Policlinic Klinikum rechts der Isar. Between 1995 and 2000, he led a DFG Clinical Research Group on immunosuppression and postoperative sepsis and acted as a spokesperson for the DFG Collaborative Research Centre on facultative microbial pathogenicity and hereditary immunity from 2001 to 2011.
