The prize recognizes his dissertation entitled &#8220;Systems Immunology Approaches for Human Immune Profiling in Vaccination and Aging,&#8221; in which he investigated modern systems immunology methods for analyzing human immune responses.<\/p>\n<p>Riemann completed his medical studies in Heidelberg before moving to Hanover as part of the TITUS Clinician Scientist Program. There, he conducted research at the Clinic for Pediatric Pneumology, Allergology, and Neonatology under the direction of <strong>Prof. Dr. Gesine Hansen<\/strong> and at the Institute of Immunology under <strong>Prof. Dr. Reinhold F\u00f6rster<\/strong>. During this time, he also completed his doctorate in the international doctoral program &#8220;Infection Biology&#8221; under the supervision of Prof. Dr. F\u00f6rster.<\/p>\n<p>His scientific work focuses on bioinformatic analyses of extensive omics and clinical data sets from different cohorts. These include the <strong>RESIST<\/strong> Senior Individuals (SI) cohort, various vaccination cohorts, and the ALLIANCE vaccination cohort. Riemann focused in particular on computer-assisted evaluations of high-dimensional flow cytometry data, transcriptomics data sets, and the integration of various omics levels. The aim of these approaches is to better understand complex immune profiles and systematically record differences in vaccine responses, for example between high and low responders to mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.<br \/>\nHis cumulative dissertation summarizes the modern data analysis methods he developed and applied, as well as key findings from the <strong>RESIST<\/strong>-SI cohort and a study on mRNA COVID-19 high and low responders, and is based on three scientific publications.<\/p>\n<p>The Infection Biology PhD Prize is awarded regularly as part of the doctoral program and is sponsored by <strong>RESIST<\/strong>. The award recognizes outstanding dissertations in the field of infection biology.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div style=\"text-align:center;\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat button-xlarge button-default fusion-button-default button-1 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type buttonstapel-mitte\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/102424_resist_news_eng_03_2025_Lay_02.pdf\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text\">Click here for the RESIST newsletter<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":40248,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40243"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40243\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40253,"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40243\/revisions\/40253"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40248"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.resist-cluster.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
