As an immunologist, David Vöhringer researches immune factors that are responsible for the development of allergies. IgE antibodies that detect substances that are actually harmless and trigger an immune response as a result play a decisive role in this respect. David Vöhringer investigates these IgE antibodies, their lifespan and how they are formed. He received the ERC Grant at LMU Munich.
