Jens Alexander Niemann serves as a Researcher in the Immunophysiology department at the Leibniz Research Centre for Working Environment and Human Factors (IFADO), formally affiliated with TU Dortmund University, Germany. Based at Ardeystr. 67, 44139 Dortmund, he operates under department head Prof. Dr. Carsten Watzl within IFADO's Immunology research division. His research centers on Natural Killer (NK) cell biology with specific focus on tumor immunology mechanisms. Key investigations include metabolic regulation (particularly glycolysis) of NK cell cytotoxicity, receptor signaling dynamics (β2-adrenergic responses), and tumor microenvironment interactions. Niemann develops innovative methodologies like repeated CD107a staining to track serial degranulation events, revealing how metabolic constraints and chronic stimulation modulate NK cell function against cancer targets. Analysis of his 2024-2025 publications indicates a cohesive research trajectory toward enhancing NK cell-based immunotherapies. Work demonstrates that glycolytic restriction amplifies serial killing capacity while chronic receptor stimulation induces desensitization – both critical factors for optimizing adoptive cell therapies. His collaborative studies frequently explore tumor microenvironment mimicry to identify enhancers of NK cell activity. Niemann contributes to IFADO's Immunophysiology team within the broader Immunology department, which includes Neuroimmunology and Immunomodulation research groups. The team leverages institutional resources including bioimaging and toxicology units for mechanistic studies, with applications targeting bladder cancer and occupational health contexts.
