Physiology in Focus 2026, 16-19/9/2026
From 16th –19th September 2026, “Physiology in Focus 2026”, a high-profile joint congress of the German Physiological Society and the Scandinavian Physiological Society, will take place in Hamburg at the UKE — right on your doorstep. We invite all scientifically and transdisciplinarily active researchers and staff at the UKE to participate in “Physiology in Focus 2026” by submitting abstracts for posters and oral presentations. The congress will be held Campus North (N55, N25 and N27), and offers an excellent platform to present your own research, initiate collaborations within and beyond the UKE, and to strengthen the visibility of the UKE. Researchers working at the interfaces of physiology, translational and basic research in the fields of gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, metabolic, musculoskeletal, nephrological, and pulmonary sciences, as well as immunology, neuroscience, 3R research, and teaching are especially encouraged to contribute. Take this opportunity now to present your work at the UKE — whether as a poster or talk. Deadline for early-bird registration with special rates for UKE staff: 10 June 2026.

External Calls
Emmy Noether Groups “Methods in Artificial Intelligence”, Deadline: 10/06/2026
AI methods have become established as key tools across a wide range of research areas and are now increasingly an integral part of the processes of knowledge acquisition in science. As it continues to pursue its strategic AI funding initiative, the DFG therefore aims to provide targeted support for researchers in early career phases in this field. The objective of this call is to attract the next generation of highly qualified researchers in AI method development by offering early-career opportunities involving a high degree of independence. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to establish and lead an Emmy Noether Group for a period of up to six years, enabling them to refine their research profile, enhance their international visibility and become eligible for a professorship.

Aktuelle Ausgabe „wissen + forschen“ zum Thema Visionäre Medizinforschung
Die Medizin der Zukunft hat - auch wenn der erste Eindruck es glauben macht - nichts mit unendlichen Weiten und fernen Galaxien zu tun. Zur Präzisionsmedizin gehört die CAR-T-Zelltherapie, die bereits seit 2019 erfolgreich im UKE angewandt wird. Dabei wird das Immunsystem mobilisiert, sich gegen bösartige Krebszellen zu wehren. Unterm Mikroskop sieht die Auseinandersetzung wie ein Geschehen im Weltraum aus. Die Immuntherapie ist ein Beispiel für die Medizin der Zukunft, an der im UKE intensiv geforscht wird. Weitere finden Sie hier und in der neuen Ausgabe unseres Magazins wissen+forschen.
