The influenza season is just starting ... read what Prof. Susanne Herold thinks about the importance of vaccination to battle viruses. “Seasonal influenza is circulating earlier this year, and vaccination remains one of the most effective tools we have,” says Prof. Susanne Herold in an interview with DIE ZEIT online. While early estimates of vaccine effectiveness are still preliminary, data from the UK indicate a clear reduction in hospitalizations among vaccinated individuals. At the same time, Prof. Herold emphasizes caution: “Any assessment this early in the season is still highly hypothetical.” Let´s say vaccination continues to play a crucial role in protecting vulnerable groups and reducing severe outcomes.

4th DZIF Bridging Topic Workshop Cell and Gene Therapies of Infectious Diseases Based on our previous findings and ongoing projects in the clinical infectious disease laboratory at the UKGM in Gießen, we are pursuing the vision of developing an innovative, cell-based, and targeted therapy for acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This ambitious endeavor is part of a national scientific effort to advance cell and gene therapies for infectious diseases into clinical practice, supported by the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF). On November 12, 2025, the "4th DZIF Bridging Topic Workshop – Cell and Gene Therapies of Infectious Diseases" took place at the Clinical Research Center (CRC) in the vibrant metropolis of Hannover. The workshop covered a wide range of topics, including adenovirus vector- and T-cell-based gene therapies and their applications in the treatment of HIV, PML, HBV, CMV, EBV, and SARS-CoV-2. Additionally, data on harnessing and tailoring the unique properties of stem cell-derived macrophages for next-generation immunotherapies in pneumonia and chronic lung diseases were presented. We are grateful for a day filled with highly interesting lectures and lively discussions, as well as valuable insights into networking, regulatory and ethical frameworks, interdisciplinary thinking, and collaborations.
