Prof. Dr. Christian Münz
Ferdinand-Bergen Auditorium
Prof. Dr. Christian Münz (Director of the Institute of Experimental Immunology, University of Zürich)
Christian Münz is the Professor of Viral Immunobiology and co-director of the Institute of Experimental Immunology, University of Zürich (Member of the Faculty of Medicine and Mathematics and Natural Sciences). Additonally, he is Visiting Professor at the Imperial College in London, UK. He obtained his PhD in Biochemistry and Immunology in 1998 from the University of Tübingen, Germany, on tolerance mechanisms during pregnancy, autoimmunity, and tumor immunology, before pursuing his postdoctoral training to the Rockefeller University in New York, USA, where he started analyzing the immune control of the persistent and oncogenic Epstein Barr virus (EBV). In 2023 Christian Münz became Research Associate and was appointed Research Assistant Professor, as well as Assistant Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Viral Immunobiology at Rockefeller University. His research continues to characterize immune control of EBV as well as the closely related Kaposi-sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), especially antigen processing via macroautophagy, innate immune control by dendritic cells and natural killer cells, and new in vivo models of EBV and KSHV infection and their immune control using mice with reconstituted human immune system components.
