CoPILOT - Graduate Program of TRR 359 Perinatal Development of Immune Cell Topology (PILOT) Biomedical Center, LMU

The TRR 359 Transregional Collaborative Research Center “Perinatal Development of Immune Cell Topology (PILOT)” is a newly founded collaborative research group funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). TRR 359 brings together scientists from several research institutions across Germany to research the development of the immune system around birth.

Within PILOT, an Integrated Research Training Group (IRTG) “CoPILOT” is a structured doctoral training program in perinatal immunology. Doctoral researchers in the natural sciences and medical doctoral (MD) candidates will be integrated into the PILOT consortium and will conduct research and receive training addressing unique theoretical and methodological aspects of perinatal immune cell development. CoPILOT will provide optimal support to doctoral candidates to pursue advanced training in a cutting-edge scientific environment, forming a new generation of scientific leaders in the area of perinatal immunology.
