Christoph Scheiermann

Christoph Scheiermann is a Professor at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) and affiliated with the Medical Faculty. His research at the Cardiovascular Physiology and Pathophysiology department focuses on circadian rhythms in immune responses, particularly leukocyte migration and activation.

• Current affiliation: BioMedical Center Munich, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich
• Former affiliation: University of Geneva, Faculty of Medicine

Research Interests: Using intravital microscopy and animal models, the Scheiermann group investigates how neural mechanisms regulate daily rhythms in leukocyte trafficking. Key areas include:

• Syk kinase signaling in neutrophil activation
• Chronotherapeutic interventions for inflammatory diseases
• Temporal dynamics of immune cell recruitment
• Neuro-immune interactions in inflammation

Labs & Collaborations: The group operates in Munich and Geneva, integrating molecular, cellular, and physiological studies. Former lab members now hold positions at institutions like Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, UCB Belgium, and the University of Zurich.
