Professor Marco Fritzsche is a Full Professor and the Scientific Director of the Oxford-ZEISS Centre of Excellence who leads the Biophysical Immunology Laboratory at the Kennedy Institute for Rheumatology at the University of Oxford. His research focuses on the understanding of the mechanobiology of the human immunity. By integrating biophysics, immunology, and advanced microscopy, his team develops cutting-edge imaging technologies, such as super-resolution and traction force microscopy, to quantify cellular forces at molecular scales. Fritzsche's interdisciplinary approach aims to unravel the physical principles underpinning immune responses in health and disease, fostering innovations in biomedical imaging and immunotherapy.
