Gerhard Wingender

Dr. Gerhard Wingender is an accomplished immunologist with more than 20 years of experience in innate and adaptive immunity utilizing mostly in
vivo models and flow cytometry. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Heidelberg (Germany) before joining the laboratory of Dr. Mitchell
Kronenberg as a postdoctoral fellow at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI, La Jolla, USA). Since 2015, Dr. Wingender is a Research Group Leader at the Izmir Biomedicine and Genome Center (IBG, Izmir, Turkey).

His current research interest is the role of innate-like T cells, in particular iNKT and MAIT cells, in the context of lung inflammations, cancer, and autoimmune diseases. Dr. Wingender’s work resulted in 36 peer-reviewed publications (e.g. Journal of Experimental Medicine, Journal of Clinical Investigation, Gastroenterology; h-index: 19) and he is the project coordinator for several national and international
grants, including IBG’s ERA Chair project RareBoost.

Lab - Multiparametric Flow Cytometry Panels:
In this exercise, we will develop multiparametric flow cytometry panels and will discuss the pros and cons of potential combinations.
