Biography

Tobias Bald, PhD, is Professor for Tumor Immunobiology at the Institute for Experimental Oncology at the university Hospital Bonn, Germany. In 2015, he received his PhD from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Bonn, with highest honours for his work on the role of inflammatory responses in melanoma progression and for the importance of the type I IFN system for the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy.

After being awarded a prestigious EMBO Long-term Fellowship he joined the lab of Prof. Mark Smyth at the Queensland Institute for Medical Research, Brisbane, Australia in 2016. In 2018, Tobias was awarded an early career fellowship which allowed him to establish a junior group to study the impact of the Nectin-Network in the tumor microenvironment.

In 2020, he became a member of the DFG cluster of excellence ImmunoSensation and established the laboratory for Tumor Immunobiology (www.baldlab.com) at the University Hospital Bonn. His scientific focus is to understand the regulation of tumor-infiltrating immune cells to develop innovative therapies for the treatment of cancer.
