DPBM seminar: Dr. Marian Christoph Neidert

Neurooncology - From microsurgery to tumor immunology

Speaker: Dr. Marian Christoph Neidert, Deputy Chief Physician at the Clinic for Neurosurgery at St.Gallen Cantonal Hospital.

Dr. Marian Christoph Neidert, is Deputy Chief Physician at the Clinic for Neurosurgery at St.Gallen Cantonal Hospital. With a focus on neuro-oncology, Dr. Neidert investigates the role of the immune system in various brain tumors, including medulloblastoma, glioblastoma, and meningioma. His recent publications have investigated mapping T-cell antigens in medulloblastoma, identifying microbial peptides that activate tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in glioblastoma, and presenting HLA ligands in brain tissues.
