Andreas Schlitzer

Professor Andreas Schlitzer leads the Quantitative Systems Biology research group at the Life and Medical Sciences Institute (LIMES), University of Bonn. His work focuses on myeloid cell development, particularly dendritic cells, monocytes, and macrophages, using single-cell sequencing and computational approaches.

• Institution: University of Bonn
• Research Unit: LIMES Institute, Unit 2 (Molecular Immune & Cell Biology)

His research investigates how immune cells acquire tissue-specific adaptations and functional specialization through transcriptomic and functional studies. Recent projects include spatial-omics techniques for gastrointestinal analysis and understanding macrophage heterogeneity in inflammatory contexts.

Key article trends highlight innate immunity, metabolic reprogramming, developmental cell biology, and computational immunology. Awards include the Postdoktorandenpreis der Robert-Koch-Stiftung. The lab employs cutting-edge flow cytometry, in vivo assays, and multiplexed tissue imaging to map myeloid cell systems.
