Ernesto Bockamp, PhD

Ernesto Bockamp is a reader at the Institute of Translational Immunology in Mainz. He received his PhD degree from the Eberhard-Karls-University in Tübingen working at the Center for Molecular Biology “Severo Ochoa” in Madrid (Fellow of the Baden-Württemberg Landesgraduiertenstiftung and Dr. Duisberg Scholar). Subsequently, he was postdoctoral fellow and later senior research assistant at the Medical Research Centre in Cambridge, England (fellowship of the Leukaemia Research Foundation). In 2002 Ernesto Bockamp received his postdoctoral degree in molecular medicine from the Johannes Gutenberg-University in Mainz (Habilitation). His research focuses on lung cancer, next generation mouse models and medical problems related to inflammation.
